Re: How to diagram your models
I was talking about the arrows, but what you are talking about is a mountain fold to give the body volume.
Re: How to diagram your models
No, i mean a bit like this: (as close as i can get with text)
O_O_O_O_>
One loop for every curl, make the area to be curled darker, and if it's the light side of the paper, don't make it the same shade as the dark side.
Also, bracket the length to be curled.
That way, you know
Where to curl,
How much to curl
And where to fit the curls into.

Re: How to diagram your models
Hello.
I have just started using inkscape and also started diagramming but I just have a problem. I want to draw a preliminary base and I drew a diamond but I dont know how to show a little of the layers spreding at the edges like shown here in step 2:
The diamond which I drew is flat. Showing a little layers spreading will give it a good look.
Thanks.

Re: How to diagram your models
When I draw diagrams I usually start with a square object with filling and then cut it along the fold lines and rotate the individual layers like needed. Then I transform them a bit like needed to show the layer contribution. I usually draw diagrams in Freehand but this should be possible in Inkscape too - I know it is in Illustrator. The positive side effect of this method is, that you always have the same layers like in your actual model with the correct sizes and everything.

Re: How to diagram your models
Inkscape looks really good, but every time I open it, it says "duration error".
Does anyone know why?

Re: How to diagram your models
When asking a computer question, always provide this stuff:
Operating system
RAM capacity (random access memory, DO NOT include virtual RAM, or the actual memory of your computer)
The error message in its entirety
Crash report if one is present
Answer those questions and I or whoever beats me to it will be able to further assist you. For now, uninstall inkscape, restart your PC, and reinstall it.

Re: How to diagram your models
I wanted to ask a new origami symbol question: ¿how can I make an arrow that means "make a pleat fold and then unfold it"?

Re: How to diagram your models
What do you use to compile the steps that form the complete diagram? I mean you can use Inkscape (or Corel Draw or whatever) to draw each step but how do you put together all those steps to make a complete diagram?
I'm asking because I submitted a diagram once and I used Inkscape or something similar to make each individual drawing of each step and then used Microsoft Word to arrange the different steps into a two column table and add text beneath each step and the person that received the diagram thought it was odd that it was in Word and thought I had drawn the whole thing using the very limited drawing tools that Word has.

Re: How to diagram your models
Most drawing programs (like Inkscape and Corel Draw!) are capable of adding text to your drawing. They also have features like grid lines and guides that you can adjust and "snap" to. You should also have various alignment tools (space out diagrams evenly, etc.). MS Word is a bit clunky in those areas. For the sentence or two that is needed for most steps, the inline editors in a drawing program should suffice. Good luck! - Marc

Does anyone know where the tools that Mark is mentioning here, are located in the Inkscape tool bars?marckrsh wrote:Most drawing programs (like Inkscape and Corel Draw!) are capable of adding text to your drawing.

It should say something like "Display" (I don't have the english version of it)Brimstone wrote:Does anyone know where the tools that Mark is mentioning here, are located in the Inkscape tool bars?marckrsh wrote:Most drawing programs (like Inkscape and Corel Draw!) are capable of adding text to your drawing.

the buttons in the top row say: file, edit, display, layer, object, curve, text, filters, extensions and help, you'll find what you're looking for in the menu that opens after clicking the third button.

The menu is called "View", but I don't see how the options on that menu could do what Mark was talking about.origamipete wrote:the buttons in the top row say: file, edit, display, layer, object, curve, text, filters, extensions and help, you'll find what you're looking for in the menu that opens after clicking the third button.
