Hello All, Any ideas for how we could accurately test for the direction of paper folds, for example, when strips are unrolled, how might we change the color of diagonals so we know which is a mountain fold, and which is a valley fold? This would be similar to Pepakura's output, but with more control I suppose ... I realize the paper folding techniques have been somewhat exhausted on this forum, but I did a search and couldn't find anything related to this particular inquiry. Very Best,nSee More

Breaking up a given surface by determining an interval to develop UV's will result in straight, parallel 'sections'.  It's easy enough to allow for uneven spacing between them, but they of course remain straight and perfectly parallel.This is of course not always the best option when it comes to fabrication and other intentions.How about UV sections that are curved in plan, and controlled either by surface curvature (principal) or by another set of contingencies?  See More
