CAPDISTORT PRO

V11.7 — Smooth ROPP 3D • True Scale • Geometry Linked

1. Import artwork

PDF page PDF scale

Auto detect and apply SIDE + FACE after import

Upload the customer PDF. The software will ignore template circles/guides, detect the long side band and the round top logo, then build the ROPP production layout.

2. Cap geometry

Production model

Production mode Side wrap length mm Cap Ø mm Height mm Blank Ø mm Reference blank Ø mm Geometry correction100.0% Output px Side height mm

3. Auto SIDE / FACE engine

Auto detect ignores template guide circles and searches only for the real rectangular side band and round/oval top logo.

Fixed SIDE crop frame = target size 100×58 mm

In SIDE mode the crop frame is not a free rectangle. It represents the real sidewall size. Drag the frame over the PDF, then Apply SIDE.

Side fit mode Wrap width px

Normal workflow: Auto detect + apply. The side band is selected with a fixed true-scale 100×58 mm crop frame; the round logo above it becomes the top disk. Template circles below are ignored.

4. Crop workspace / True Scale

Target width mm Target height mm

True Scale 1:1 at browser 100% zoom

Measure this 100 mm bar on screen, enter real measured mm

100 mm screen calibration bar

Use browser zoom 100%. If the 100 mm bar measures 95 mm with a real ruler, enter 95 and press Calibrate. Then the crop workspace can be shown at physical 1:1 scale.

5. Production Calibration Engine

Golden sample profile

Full disk diameter mm Reference width mm Reference height mm Output mode

Solid press disk output — no center hole Protect red/text band — keep it straight Text band Y % 50% Text band height % 13% Ornament compensation 62%

Use this for Vermouth: select the real printed-sheet compensation or designer compensated circle, then Apply reference. CAPDISTORT will output a solid calibrated press disk, not a mathematical annulus with a hole.

6. Calibration / seam

7. 3D WOW studio

Material Lighting Background Ridges / knurl count

Smooth ROPP body — no artificial middle rings Show only real top/bottom rolled rims Show tear/safety band line Show upper knurl/perforation zone Show shoulder grooves / decorative ring lines

Default for printed-design preview is smooth body. Enable tear band / knurl only for geometry checks.

1. CLIENT TARGET — fixed 100×58 mm crop workspace, true scale capable

2. PRODUCTION LAYOUT — straight ROPP sidewall + top disk

3. PRODUCTION SHEET CHECK — sidewall crop vs generated layout

For ROPP: left shows the current SIDE crop; right shows the generated production sheet that will be exported. It updates live with geometry/overlap/settings.
