Feature wish list (to express support for any of these features, email suggestions200602@paper-model.com):

• Add status bar to CPaperCutView
• Add 3D view
• Implement convex hull - The current page-fitting algorithm generates overlaps when there are a large number of pieces per page. Calculating the convex hull of each piece would eliminate this problem.
• Use knapsack fitting for pages - The current page-fitting algorithm uses a brute-force iterative rotation technique which is reasonably effective but slow. Slowness is noticeable especially when there are more than 500 faces involved.
• Allow right-click editing of face text and positioning / cropping of bitmaps
• Specify resources in shape file
• Allow text files to be specified as a resource and wrapped across adjoining faces
• Support in-place activation and editing via COM
• Export to .gif, .jpg or .png
• Export to .pdf
• Import 3d drawing files
• Add 5v geodesic breakdown
• Add triacon geodesic breakdown
• Support elliptical geodesic solids
• Allow arbitrary geodesic breakdowns (type I or type II)
• Allow an image to be centered on a face and spread over to adjoining faces
• Add toolbox with stamp (one-click placement of an image) and paint bucket (background fill)
• Add wizard mode for shape creation
• Convert help to chm (compiled html)
• Improve user interface - the usability is abysmal. There needs to be a "wizard mode" that helps you get started with some basic cool things.

Mostly done:

• Select vertex as "north pole" and calculate facial orientation. This works for text but not images...
