Official pepakura scaling thread

[Saber]

Where is the "Scale Up/Down by specifying value" button in the 2d window? Is this for a Pepakura Version 3? I'm just having problems because my MK VI feet are WAY too big!!! :eek



I have a size 9.5/10 Woman's shoe if that helps...

This feature is available in Pep Designer but not in Viewer.





EDIT: If you have Pep Designer 3, go to 2DPatternWindow --> Change the Scale of Development --> Specify the Scale.

Just made the VROGY Hd hand plate from the wiki index and it was huge. im slim and 6'2" how should i scale these suckers???

 

[Macattack64]

Are you talking about the HD MKVI standard handplate? or is it about a different armor handplate?

 

[StidwacK]

Hey guys, I'm new here and have read pretty much everything there is to read on scaling up the pep files but there's controversy about how it all fits so I was wondering if someone could scale me up?



I'm roughly 6' 2"

Weigh 155 lbs.

about a 30" waist

size 12.5 to 13 shoe

chest is about 34" to 35"



I recently printed and cut a full scale MC Mark VI helmet (cuz i didn't know about scaling... lol go figure) and I'm pretty sure that will be too big once it's fully glued and stuff. Any help would be much obliged :lol



EDIT: and by full scale i mean 30.342 or whatever master chief's size is

Are you talking about the HD MKVI standard handplate? or is it about a different armor handplate?

i believe its that standard HD one.

 

[Tandhem]

REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED HELP! all this scaling does not apply to all the new HD parts and stuff is getting messed up The hand plate scale is around 48 which seemed to work so i made the right shoulder at 51 and it is tiny!!! can someone please shine light on what scale to put the HD armor in for a 6 foot person of skinny build. The numbers will be used by hundreds!

 

[MustangCobra69]

This is probably a stupid question, but I don't know WHERE to scale the files. I know the math and such, but how do I apply it to the pep file? I can't find it. :unsure

[akorn killer]

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

[KnightGliderX]

I was wondering if you knew how to scale the Gears or War torso? lol



I have Major Pains Fenix Breastplate Revised and the current scale is 25.814359



Ive tried pictures but im not 100% sure.



Im about 172cm (5.6 ft) tall

 

[Xtreme TACTICS 101]

Try one of the other methods in my thread. For the torso, I recommend Method 2.



Good luck!

Arright,



This is one problem that cannot be fixed by Xtreme tactics awesome tut. I have a mac, and as it is already known it is pretty darn difficult to run pepakura on a mac.



I was hoping that somebody would be able to scale the robogenisis mark VI files, and convert them to PDF format so I can print them. I know that this is asking quite a bit, but I would be very grateful if someone would do this.



I am 71 inches tall (5.9 feet)



Thanks,



Devious
