Outside Hole

Here’s the outside hole problem in a nutshell: there’s a hole that extends outside of the outline path:

Origami tries to find a cut path that contains the whole die drawing - the outline - but fails to do so as a hole extends beyond the outline.

The other version of the error is having two separate sets of dielines:

The hole above is completely outside the main layout, so Origami can’t even tell which layout is the main one.

What to do?

• Locate any path that runs outside of the main layout.
• Fix that path.

Want More Hints?

• Empty Layout — why there is no dieline visible?
• Path Is Not Closed — the dieline needs a solid, continuous outline path;
• Intersecting Holes — holes must not overlap;
• Overlapping Lines — cut and crease lines must not overlap, as well;
• Outside Hole — all holes must be inside the outline path;
• Invalid Crease — crease lines have limitations;
• Almost Vertical/Horizontal — crease line is probably misaligned;
• Impossible Shape — some shapes simply don’t exist;
• Misaligned Elements — ends must meet, perfectly;
• Elements Are Too Small — keep dieline paths simple;
• Interesting Curved Cuts — it might not be easy;
• Triangulation Failed — Origami fails to make a 3D mesh of a dieline;
• Z–Fighting — what to do with overlapping polygons.
