I have tried them, but since I am a tired, old man who can't learn new tricks, I stick to designing my models by just drawing them with a CAD program. Metasequoia is a bit easier to learn and there are some tutorials on the net for learning its use. There are numerous threads on the forums which go into that, including a PDF tutorial on building an aircraft in Rhino 3D, one of the better, but more expensive modeling programs. Main thing is you would be better off learning to use a 3d program, and designing a model with one of those programs which is compatible with a paper model. Since this might cover other parts, it isn't desirable, and since there is no Undo (at least none I can find), it's difficult to recover without restarting the entire process over. Be careful.if you select an edge on a large piece and the arrow is pointing towards the smaller pieces, when you left click, the large part will move to the location of the small part.
An arrow at the midway point will show which direction the part will travel. If you place your mouse over an edge, and a red line appears, it is telling you there is a piece that can be joined. However, if you right click in the unfold window, you will see a select called something like Join Adjacent Pieces.

However, I haven't learned how to do that yet, so anything I unfold is many pieces also. When Pepakura unfolds a model, it will make a lot of small pieces if the model has not been optimized for a paper model.
