It would be possible to make that in SketchUp, and give it heiarchy to be able to fold it. And Dimension imports SketchUp files, which should give you a foldable box inside Dimension as well. I couldn't find a way to move the axes in Dimension, and it didn't always follow what I had set in SketchUp. Here's the Dimension file that I made, you can dig through the heiarchy of the model and rotate parts to fold them. I added the SketchUp file as well.

your main issue is that software make 2D templates and Adobe Dimension works in 3\4D
imo you are much better of to use a tool designed to make 3D shapes and there is a beta
baring that start with one of the default boxes included in Adobe Dimension and export the Uv map to design your artwork in Photoshop
p.s, I reposted your image just to save people on phones having to download it
you can't upload a Dn file to this forum... yes I know what Adobe staff said
work around;
- zip the Dn file (only zip works not 7z or any other type) and drop it into your Adobe sync folder
- allow the creative cloud to finish uploading it to their server then open the web ui
- select the zip file and set your share option
how to move a tab = select it then move it
this is a SkeakUp file and a custom one at that so I assume the big issue is just finding the tabs?
good news = Adobe Dimension reads \ opens SkechUp files correct
bad news = Adobe Dimension has no clue what the file actually is... it just opens it with whatever settings you have made
- the file you made has custom mum \ child settings that Dimension doesn't really see so you need to click on the model (green) in order to open any sub parts of the model
- red = change the name (which I would just to help track which part is which) & yellow i.e, any other part of the layer just selects the layer itself
- in Adobe Dimension you have; top, center and bottom which normally is how the part joins to the main model or how it sits on the ground plan but in this case your SkechUp has custom settings for some of the tabs and Dimension tries to follow that if it can... you can break these joins and reattach them if you need some special option but (watch the vid) have a play first to see if 1 option is going to work for you
p.s, sorry about my spelling I'm in a train mate
Your video shows the problem, that with pivot set to top, bottom, or center, the rotation is still around a global x, y, or z (can't tell for sure).

yes Dimension always rotates to the ground plan reguardless of how the model actually sits... this is by design and the dev team has been asked to change it or at least add extra options
as a workaround you can open your model in some other 3D software, move the tabs to more or less where you want them and then send the model to Dimension or you can rotate the model inside Dinmension first to something like a 45 angle then move the tabs (they rotate to the ground not the model) and then rotate the main model back flat to the ground again... this 2nd option is what I tend to do but yes it could be a better system
now a quick word on tabs; imo they should be hidden because a 3D model should not have tabs. they are there as guides in 2D templates to show people where to fold and attach parts but they just get in the way of demo rendors... Collin made a good model where the tabs can be adjusted without buggering up the overall design look so you have options
