Wow!
This site is so awesome. I remember seeing some kids making art out of paper back in elementary school, however I never knew it could be as intricate as this! Was it hard to learn? This would be a great hobby to do in my free time.
help?
on step 31 i don't get what it means when it says "wrap the gusset around the corner."i know what a gusset means, but i dont get how to complete the step.
thanks
Wrap around a layer
In this step you need to wrap around a layer. So the paper that is in the front will then be in the inside of the model. For this step you have to open the model a bit to enable the paper to move in that fashion.
Have you done a wrap around / wrap behind before? If not, you may wan to practice it first before attempting it on that model. Also see: http://www.happyfolding.com/term-wrap_behind

I don't know
Sorry, I fear that's a question I can't answer - simply because I don't know the answer.
You could try asking this question in an origami forum, eg. http://www.thekhans.me.uk/forum/

designing Origami Pdfs
you told me how to draw them with inkscape but how do i add pages to it and how to i link it to my site?
hello?
why havent you answered?
Because I don't know
I'm not really the right person to ask Inkscape questions. I usually create several layers, one or two for each page. Then I print the layers separately, and combine the pdf pages into one pdf with another tool. I don't know whether there's a better way.
As to adding text links, I haven't tried that yet, sorry.

then how did they get on your site?
like Here
Because...
None of the diagrams I created have linked text in them.

what do you mean "linked text in them"?
all i want is to type something on my site to link it to my pdf
HTML links
You mean <a href="linktothepdf">name of the link</a>?

Check http://www.thekhans.me.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4884 for quite a few posts related on diagramming and what software to use. I personally use inkscape (www.inkscape.org), as this is a free alternative.
