ACROBAT PDF LAYERS This model uses Acrobat PDF Layers for the decal sets. The first page of the PDF is the Model Configurator. You will be presented with five options: a blank model with no decals, and 4 different decal sets. Clicking on any of these 5 swatches will automatically configure the PDF with all of the appropriate decal options in a single click. NOTE: When you print the model, take care not to print the first page start from Page 2 onwards. HAND CUT AND MACHINE CUT PDFS This model includes two different PDF versions. The hand-cut version includes fold lines and cut lines, and is formatted for cutting out with a hobby knife and ruler. In other words, this is the normal PDF you're used to. The machine-cut version has no visible fold or cut lines, and each part is surrounded by a thin textured border. This padding compensates for any slight inaccuracies in cutting and also greatly reduces the amount of glue tab coloring needed. This model also includes all of the necessary GSD files for cutting with Craft ROBO and Silhouette SD craft cutters.
