I just tried what you suggested, 2 valley diagonals, and 1 mountain vertical line, and it worked for me without problems.

Oripa can't render curves, you have to make all lines that will make model lay flat after collapsing, thats why after showing blank screen the whole cp is pink :D

It also depends of what Java Api do you use, I 've heared that newer than 1.5 won't render images, and also what version of Oripa do you use, I'm using 26 and 15, 15 is in japanese but I can render pictures like that:

It's Ryu Zin 2.1 Head base without scales' connection

I'm using Java API 1.6 and Oripa 0.31. Sometimes it complains about the CP but it still renders the image.

Argh! I've downloaded the file for Oripa and the Application wont open. :?
All it comes up with when I click the desktop icon is a bunch of files. I'm guessing that its my Java. :

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.

I can't design anything yet..
I still don't understand the controls.
And I have trouble with mountain folds and valley folds.

You can use the AlterLineType control for changing a line between Mountain, Valley, and Auxiliary type of line.

So, I'm guessing from the lack of responses that it's my Java, right? :)
EDIT: It was. I hadn't properly downloaded the 3D graphics thing. All I had done was download the installer. :oops:

Several people have had the same problem already and posted to this thread - I would check out what's been written so far and see if some of those recommendations work for you :wink:

I think I know why I can't download ORIPA, I have Windows 2000! :x :evil:
No wonder I was having problems :roll:
Keep on trying, it will work.

ftangdude55, to use bisector, you point three corners of the angle you want to bisect(there will be green squares) and then the line you want the bisecting line will end at. I don't know if there is any guide, I started using oripa when it was in japanese only :P oh on the webpage(japanese only, i think so) is instructional video of making and folding the bird base :D i think I helped you :D
