Yes, I recently looked at Lang's new editions to his website - some incredible pieces. The scorpion is of ridiculous complexity. I'm not sure what all the colours mean - I'm actually annoyed by his new method of drawing CPs - I'm overwhelmed with an array of colours. I would try to look at a simple version of the CP and with a ruler, measure how far in a landmark reference point is and divide that by the initial width of the square: that will give you a decimal number which you can plug into reference finder.

Hi! It's been a long while since I've been active on here. I deleted my Dropbox years ago, so some things, like my Dragonfly Varileg guide, are lost to time. I may still have other things, though! Email me if you have any questions.

as far as I can tell, the blue and red lines are for the circle/river packing; the green,purple, and yellow (3 colors for some reason), and the black lines seem to be for squashes and other little folds. And yes, the grid is 98.
It also seems that it could be possible to have a design with both hex and box pleating.

Here is a short talk by Robert Lang explaining the main prinicple of Circle Packing: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/robe ... igami.html
Thanks for the video Anna!
Still, i won't use this type of packing, there's to much maths involved!
Since my native language isn't english, i can't udnerstand such geometric-expressions used in that tree maker, and reference finder.
That 98 grid is very bad (for me at least) 2x7x7, i can't even divide paper into 7ths, just only 5ths and 3rds..(among the prime numbers, or how do they call it in english )
Can somebody tell me how to divide into 7ths accurately?
I don't want to divide it into more and just cut it off. It would be a waste of paper at the expense of the paper's size.
And i don't have and use larger squares than 60cm

Here you can learn how to divide into xth's:

It involves some math though its not hard to unterstand if you take some time to read it carefully
