Does anyone have experience with Pep projects? I am working on one and I want some advice before I get going.

Thanks

You're talking pepakura, right?

Josh has been into pepakura for a while.

I've done a few things, and they turned out okay.

I guess the only thing I have to say is watch your cutting lines. It sucks having to figure out what page to reprint if you cut something you're not supposed to.
Especially if you just have the freeware version, and you can't save new files and you've moved stuff around on your project sheets.

Also, it is VERY helpful, at least in my case, to work on it somewhere near the computer you have the program on, or have it on a laptop.
Sometimes you can get lost and can't figure out what piece you're holding in your hand and how it relates to the rest of the project. It helps to have the pepakura program right there to mess with the 3D file while working.

Hope some of this advice helps!

The files I have do not have the numbers or letter on them. Is there a way to change that?

There is a way you can change it Will. At the top there should be an option in one of the drop down bars that lets you add them. If you can't find it then I would download the pep editor and load your file in there. You can't save the changes you make with out paying but you can print them. What are you workin on?
