How can we help you?

Arranging Patterns in the 3D Window

• Syncing Pattern Arrangement
  
  - Select the  Reset 2D Arrangement tool from the 3D Toolbar to reflect the Pattern layout in the 3D Window as it is in the 2D Window.
  
  - The Pattern Arrangement in both the 2D and 3D Windows will appear the same.
  
  
• Turning on Arrangement Points
  
  - Hover over the  Avatar Display icon—the second icon in the Vertical View Toggle Menu—to access elements of the Avatar that can be toggled on or off. Click on  Show Arrangement Points, which is the second icon in the horizontal Avatar Display series. Blue dots, the Arrangement Points, will appear on the Avatar in the 3D Window.
  
  
• Accessing Arrangement Points Hidden by Patterns
  
  - Move Patterns that are hiding the Arrangement Points for easier access.
  - Hold down Ctrl or Cmd +A to select all Patterns. The Patterns will be highlighted in yellow to indicate they have been selected. With the  Select/Move tool from the 3D Toolbar selected, click and drag the Patterns out of the way of the Arrangement Points.
  
  
• Preparing Patterns for Easy Arrangement
  
  - When two Patterns or more are placed together on a single Arrangement Point, the distance between the Patterns will be reflected in the 3D Arrangement. If Patterns are arranged far apart from one another in the 2D Window, they will also appear far apart from one another in the 3D Window until they are moved and synced over.
  
  - With the  Select/Move tool from the 3D Toolbar selected, match up the front patterns at Center Front as closely as possible in the 3D Window. Repeat for the back patterns.
  
  
• Arranging the Body and Sleeve Patterns
  
  - elect the Pattern first and then the Arrangement Point. The Pattern will curve around the body when placed. Select both T-shirt front Patterns and place them on an Arrangement Point at Center Front. Repeat for the back Patterns.
  
  - For the sleeves, choose the Arrangement Point located on the upper arm.
  
  
• Placing the Ribbing on the Neckline
  
  - Place the ribbing on the Arrangement Point located on the wearer’s right side of the neck.
  
  

Sewing Patterns

• Sewing the Front and Back
  
  - Select the  Segment Sewing tool from the 2D Toolbar to sew the body of the T-Shirt.
  
  - Be mindful of the directional notches while sewing so as not to twist any Sewing Lines.
  
  
• Sewing the Sleeve Caps to the Armholes
  
  - Select the Free Sewing tool from the 2D Toolbar to sew the sleeve caps to the armholes. Match the notches.
  
  - Be mindful of the directional notches while sewing so as not to twist any Sewing Lines.
  
  
• Sewing the Ribbing to the Body of the T-Shirt
  
  - Select the  Segment Sewing tool from the 2D Toolbar to sew the ribbing to the T-shirt
  
  - Be mindful of the directional notches while sewing so as not to twist any Sewing Lines.
  
  - Use the  Segment Sewing tool when the Pattern edges are split into multiple segments based on the 2D CAD notches. Use the  Free Sewing tool when the Pattern edges are not split into multiple segments based on the 2D CAD notches.
