A CCD drawing consists of one or more nets, each depicting the 3D object desired, in whole or in part, in flat-pack form.
A net consists of panels, glue tabs, fold lines, cut lines, and symbols, as required to produce the desired object.
Before starting your CCD drawing, take a little time out to plan the object. Sketching a simple view of the final model will help you visualize the object, and plan the nets you will need to achieve it.
Note that, when drawing dioramas nets, not only do you have the new CCD commands at your disposal, but also the full armament of standard CC3 commands in addition to those possessed by any other add-ons you possess (DD2, CD2, Character Artist, etc.). Thus, the scope of possibility permitted for your models is virtually limitless!
