- Apply Elastic to Pattern outlines and Internal Lines to shrink or stretch 3D Patterns.
- Select the 
Edit Pattern tool from the 2D toolbar and select the Pattern outline or the Internal Line as desired. Then, navigate to the Property Editor and toggle on Elastic.
- Elastic can be applied to all Pattern outlines.
- Elastic can be applied to all Internal Lines.
- Select the Edit Pattern tool from the 2D toolbar and select the segment where Elastic should be applied to.
- Elastic can also be applied to a whole Pattern by selecting it with the 
Transform Pattern tool.
- Once the desired item is selected, navigate to the Property Editor and toggle on Elastic.
- Elastic will be applied to the selected items.
- Select the 
Simulation tool from the 3D toolbar.
- The elastic will be applied to 3D Garments.
- Elastic Strength refers to the Elastic resistance.
- The default value is 10. Greater the Elastic Strength is, lesser affected by outside influence and maintain Elastic Ratio.
- It is recommended to set the Elastic Strength to 10.
- Elastic Ratio indicates by what percentage the selected Pattern outlines or Internal Lines will shrink or stretch.
- 100% is the original length of the selected Pattern outlines or Internal Lines. Smaller the percentage is, shorter the length is.
- The Elastic Ratio can be adjusted between 0 and 200.
- Type in the desired segment length of the selected Pattern outlines or Internal Lines after the Elastic is applied.
- The Elastic Ratio will be automatically calculated when the Segment Length is assigned. 。
- Select multiple segments and type in the desired length for the sum of selected segments.

" The default value is 10. Greater the Elastic Strength is, lesser affected by outside influence and maintain Elastic Ratio"
So if I want to simulate a fixed gathering I have to set the value to 100? Am I correct?
I'm in trouble to simulate correctly both gathering effect and elastic waistband.
