After about 4 iterations I was happy with the design and sent the plans out to the festival precipitants so they could print out the plans on an A4 printer and build their own. After cutting and assembling there would be changes after testing by wearing and handling the physical object, then making adjustments back in the 3Dmodel. (which can be fast is you use the select by appearance function). To complete this step I had to import the svg files into Illustrator and convert the lines into the correct colour and line type for laser cutting.
After feeling happy with the designs I made in 3DsMax, I extracted the paper plan with Pepakura and laser cut it out.
