The main thing you have to watch out for on Dr. Lang's CPs is that he often draws one half of it more detailed than the other side. This means that you fold the creases shown on the less-detailed side first, on both sides. Then you add in the additional creases shown on the more detailed side.

As for the circles, they are not that important when you are actually trying to solve a crease pattern. Their use is in indicating what area of the paper is used to form each flap. Those circles are the theoretical minimum amount of space necessary to form each flap.

Also, Dr. Lang often uses solid bold lines for mountain folds and lighter dashed lines for valley.

Thank you very much!!!
