Inconsistent Crease Lines

You get this error when two panels are connected by multiple crease lines that have different folding angles or animation parameters.

Here’s an example:

Two crease lines with different angles between the same panels

The panels above are connected by two crease lines. The left has 90º folding angle, while the right one has folding angle 45º. As there is no consistency between the crease lines, Origami reports an error.

Origami still folds such shape using the angle from one of the crease lines. Even if the shape is folded properly, it is recommended to fix the error.

Both folding angle and animation parameters are checked, so if the angles are the same, but the animations are different, you will get the same error.

What to do?

Check all the highlighted crease lines to make sure all the angles and animations are the same. Fix the odd ones.

Want More Hints?

Almost Vertical/Horizontal — crease line is probably misaligned;
Broken Shape — shape is broken apart when folding;
Path Is Not Closed — the dieline needs a solid, continuous outline path;
Crease Line In Main Outline — the main outline must be made of cuts;
Intersecting Curved Cuts — it might not be easy;
Empty Layout — why there is no dieline visible?
Hanging Element — what if a path goes nowhere?
Impossible Crease Line — a crease that shouldn't be;
Inconsistent Crease Lines — similar crease lines must have same angles;
Invalid Crease — crease lines have limitations;
Overlapping Lines — cut and crease lines must not overlap, as well;
Separate Element — the dieline should come in one piece;
The Points Are Too Close — avoid crowded spaces;
Z-Fighting — what to do with overlapping polygons.

There's more from the older folding engines:

Intersecting Holes — holes must not overlap;
Impossible Shape — some shapes simply don’t exist;
Outside Hole — all holes must be inside the outline path;
Misaligned Elements — ends must meet, perfectly;
Elements Are Too Small — keep dieline paths simple;
Triangulation Failed — Origami fails to make a 3D mesh of a dieline.
