A4 Cardboard And Weird Size?

[8ibe]

Hi guys, id like to know a few things:
1. When i print out the Helmet model on A4 copy paper it seems a bit small, why?
2. I can't get the Scaling to work properly, im 5'2
3. Can i glue copy paper on A4 Cardboard?

Thanks in advance

Hey, there is a sticky about scaling, that should help you figure it out.
good luck!

What kind of Model are you printing out? And are you using Pepakura Designer or Pepakura Viewer?

If you're 5'2'' just scale the helmet to a height of 24 inches tall in the CM area. That's a "guesstimate" Also, be using cardstock, not printer paper, paper is too flimsy.

I think you must have the Viewer. Get Pepakura Designer 3. It's free, and you only really need to buy it if you want to save something, but for your purposes, there's no point.

Designer has Scale UP/DOWN. It's under 2dPatternWindow. And yes you can glue the paper onto A4 cardboard but you would be better off just using cardstock.
