Our observing campaign of proto-planetary nebula (PPN) dust shells has shown that the structure formation in planetary nebulae (PNs) begins as early as the late asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase due to intrinsically axisymmetric superwind. We describe our latest numerical efforts with a multi-dimensional dust radiative transfer code, 2-DUST, in order to explain the apparent dichotomy of the PPN morphology at the mid-IR and optical, which originates most likely from the optical depth of the shell combined with the effect of inclination angle.
