I am not finished yet with the plane I'm working on (slowly) or the
tank, but found an interesting "bug" last night. Don't know if it's
just me, or something else. I had successfully unwrapped a tank turret
design late last week... Well yesterday I opened the aircraft file
I've been working on - and tried unwrapping a few pieces that I
thought might be difficult. They unwrapped fine after a few tries (the
manual way works best so far for me) and then I did the print thing -
and guess what, the tank turret piece was there, too. Is there some
way to delete or remove pieces from the print window? Any idea why my
tank piece is there?

There is a 'clear print window' button which lets you empty the print
window. If you want to start unfolding from scratch, it is best to do
this and then export the 'new' pieces. Hope this helps.

Ok, will try this. I was just surprised that an unfolded piece would
show up in the print window of a totally different SU file and
development...

Are all the unfolded pieces supposed to be stacked up, one on top of
the other, in the Print window?

It sure looks that way, but the good thing is that you can move them
around. Would be really nice if you could also rotate them...

We're working on that. Not only for rotation, but automatically
cropping the big transparent bits around each picture. It should be
much easier to use.
