Tabgen 3D Papercraft Extension - README

Tabgen Papercraft Extension for Inkscape 1.1 by Obzerving

Use the tabgen extension to add tabs on pieces for assembling papercraft projects.

Please read the important setup info below.

After installing, it is available under  Extensions->Papercraft->Tabgen 

Using it is very simple and straightforward.  
	Select the path that you want to put tabs on.
	Run the extension.

It will generate a new piece with tabs along the outside edge, and/or any enclosed path (i.e. along the inside of cutouts.) The tabs have scorelines.   The path MUST contain only straight segments, as tabs cannot be generated on curves.  Every segment will create a tab, so eliminate stray nodes. New version allows for selective tab placement.

Options/Parameters

The angle of the tab is the angle used at the edges of the tab.  

The height of the tab is how far away from the path the tab extends.

The length of the dashline  is how large any one cuts making up the score line is. Making this number too large may result in missing score marks.  If zero is used, the score line will be solid, and will not be part of the path, but will be a separate path grouped with it. 

The choice for tab placement are outside, inside and both.  This affects whether tabs are placed along the outer path, inner paths (holes), or both. 

Dimension units are the units in which you specify your setting for height and length.  Keep this consistent with your document parameters.
