Preview, layers and zoom
Inspect the net at a comfortable scale while keeping its physical measurements unchanged.
Reviewed October 29, 2026
Fit and zoom are view controls
Fit places the whole layout inside the preview canvas. Zoom in for a closure or corner and zoom out to inspect the outline. The displayed percentage describes the screen view, not the printer's Actual size setting.
For a two-piece box, the preview contains named Base and Lid parts. A combined SVG can place them separately on one larger canvas; the printable PDF identifies their page sequence.
Read each layer's role
Cut is the continuous outer contour. Fold uses dashed creases. Glue uses a hatch or pattern on the tabs. Dimensions uses thin annotation lines and labels. Layer choices are visible in the interface so that a missing annotation is not mistaken for missing geometry.
Hide dimensions when they obscure a small closure detail, then restore them to inspect measurements. Keep the cut and fold meanings clear before making a print. The screen can be read without relying on colour alone.
Check export choices separately
Use the export controls to confirm which layers the file contains. Do not assume that a layer hidden while inspecting the preview is present in the download. Keep the cut outline enabled to save or export; the other layers can be chosen for the task.
The text description provides a compact account of the structure and dimensions, while the numbered assembly instructions describe the fold sequence. These are useful complements to the visual drawing; neither makes an invalid set of parameters valid.
