Create Pin

1. Click while pressing W on the keyboard with Select/Move tool on the 3D toolbar. 
    
2. Or click and hold the Select Mesh tool for more than 2 seconds,
   then click the Pin (Box) or Pin (Lasso) tool. The mesh of all pattern pieces will be shown in red.
   
   
3. Follow the indicated guideline below:
    
   • Vertex 
     Click on a vertex, which is any point in the mesh where edges meet. When hovering above, a blue dot will appear.
        
   • Area
     Click on the desired area on the garment ▶ click and drag to select the area.
      
   • Segment 
     Double-click on a pattern outline in either the 3D or 2D window to create pins on a segment.
     When creating pins on the pattern in the 2D window, they are generated on adjacent segment vertices when the angle difference is less than 20˚.
      
   • Pattern
     Double-click on a pattern in either the 3D or 2D window to create pins all across its entire surface.
     
     
   • Internal Line 
     Use the same procedure as above to create pins on specific internal lines and shapes.
       
4. Click and drag, or use the gizmo to move the pinned mesh as desired in the 3D window. 
     

📝Note: Click and drag on the 2D pattern while holding Shift+Ctrl (Windows) / Shift+Cmmd (Mac) on the keyboard to create additional pinned areas.
