Why not just the one .PDO, in which the lines and textures can be dealt with at the builder's end of things, and the three .PDF files for the Mac types who can't all use Pepakura Viewer easily? Or replace all that raster texture data with the vector data that it obviously came from, and drop the .PDO files altogether? I know 47 Mb isn't all that large in today's reckoning, but it's just so bloody inefficient. It *is* a good-looking model, though. :-) -- Mike Hungerford http://www.chthulhu.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
