Fold Creation

Fold Creation

The following process should be followed to create folds:

1. Create a NEW fold. By default a point point at 0 and left-right folding is done.
2. Fold angle: Set the fold angle by using the popup button to choose one of the preset angles or a custom angle. As you change the angle, the highlighted nodes on the screen change.
3. Fold direction: Decide on whether material is being folded in the forward or reverse direction. As you change the direction the highlighted nodes on the screen will change accordingly.
   Decide on whether folded material should finish above or below unfolded material. The top of the bag is defined as being in the direction of increasing Z.
4. Select material to be folded if necessary: ie define Upper or Lower layers and/or a set in the SETS AND LAYERS menu. As you change the layer or set selection the highlighted nodes on the screen will change accordingly.
5. Decide on the fold type ( Thin , Thick , etc) - see Fold Types.
6. On pressing the fold type required PRIMER folds the ORIGAMI. This may require adjustment of parameters (Separation, Tolerance) to achieve a good result.
7. Continue creating new folds until the complete ORIGAMI is folded.
