Boxpleating app?
I'm not looking for anything too complex that constructs crease patterns or anything, just a grid and a straight line tool that lets you snap lines to grid points. Does anyone know of such an app? I often get ideas while I'm out and about and forget them later, so it would be good to have something to quickly jot them down.

Re: Boxpleating app?
there is no box pleating app currently, but i remember that Robert lang said somewhere that he might make a app for box pleating. He called it '' box maker'
Re: Boxpleating app?
The closest thing I know of is oripa, except it doesn't seem to work on newer computers and is a pain to convert the files to simple pictures.
Else you always have the free inkscape (vector drawing program) which has the option to show a reference grid in the background (on which you can snap your lines to the grid intersections).
Hope that helps!

I've always wished there was an app for Oripa; that would be really convenient.
