Settings of Die-Cut Models

Your application comes with pre-built models. You can find a set of models in ~/App_Data/Models. To use another folder for models, specify one through the Origami.DieCutModelPath key in Web.config. The most essential section of each JSON file is the definition of model parameters and predefined sizes, which are returned by the GetDieCutModel and GetDieCutModels methods.
