Has anyone been able to run Oripa in Windows 7? If so please share some tips, for I haven't.

Is your windows in an language other than English? If so how did you do it? Just downloaded the 2 java files indicated in the Oripa downloading page? Did you have to change anything in your configuration?

Actually it happened so that in the beginning when i installed everything, oripa stopped working. Then I removed all java i had installed before, and downloaded installation packs again, the ones that oripa needs. After that time it works perfectly.

p.s. My Win is in English.

I finally made it work and i have so much to catch up with.

So besides the library mentioned in the second or third page of this thread is there another repository for Oripa files?

Another thing, is Oripa able to import files done in other programas? In the open option, you can choose .pdf but I produced a pdf out of an Inkscape file and Oripa does not open it same thing with .dxf.

After 3 years of not being able to run Oripa, this week I got it working again under Windows 7, so I-m posting what I think should be done for those having trouble with it.

1. Unistall all java from your computer
2. Install Java from http://java.com/en/
3. Install the 3d libraries from https://java3d.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html
4. For people from non English speaking countries, change the configuration of your system to English US.

I had some problems in Windows 7 (64-bit).

The problem was with the files not being in the correct folders.
Here's what I did:
Installed Java and Java3D (I also installed the 64-bit versions).
Once the installations were complete, I copied all files from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\Java3D\1.5.2\bin" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\Java3D\1.5.2\lib" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib" respectively.
I also did the same with the "C:\Program Files\Java\..." files.

So now the 3D files are within the corresponding JRE folders.

Oripa now works.

My computer is set to English (UK), in case that's relevant. Also, Win 7 Pro 64-bit.

Anyone knows how to trisect angles in ORIPA? As far as I know there's only a tool for bisecting but not for trisecting. How do you guys do?

I have a question about making a certain kind of crease:

It's pretty common in diagrams to see a fold like, "Starting from point A, fold the corner to the edge of the square and mark here." Is there a way to do something like that in ORIPA? What i mean is, is there a way to fix the length of a crease so that whatever edge is left can be the hypotenuse of the resulting triangle?

(Keep in mind that I only know through 9th-grade math, so no trig, please.)

Something similar to step 3 of Lang's Samurai Helmet Beetle in Insects II, where you fold the corner to the opposite edge from the 1/4 mark.

I was asking because I want to draw a more complete and accurate CP for a model of mine, and the starting steps contain a few of those creases.
