Forgot Your Scale On Pepakura? No Worries!

[cottenmouthsnake]

Have you ever started a project from pepakura then lost a part because of anything, and forgot what height or scale you did it with then here is a simple way that I can show how.



First find a piece you have printed out on a piece paper, measure it.

the find the same peice on pepakura print it out on paper and measure the same side.

then find the scale of the craft by going to the 2Dpatternwindow on pepakura.

then put you data in a proportion way like this



your pieces size....printed piece of papers size

---------------- ~ ----------------------------

......A...................scale of it



then cross multiply and you get



printed piece of papers size x A = your pieces size x scale of it



then just solve for A. A= the scale you need to print out you missing piece with.

I got it to within a couple of mm and I played with the hieth number Until it was the size I needed



Hope this helps

i like his version better, for those people out there....being told and to see what their being told, puts a new dimension of understanding to the explanation, not everyone can learn by being just told what to do, ive learned that in construction, people should calm down and think back too when they were just learning, everyone learns in different ways. great job frozen todd.
