- Auto assign fold angles based on the direction of the pleats.
- Select the Pleats Fold tool from the 2D toolbar.
- Select the Pleats Fold tool from the 2D toolbar and navigate to the 2D Window.
- Click on the pattern to designate the start point of the pleats direction. Then, drag the mouse towards the direction the pleats will be folded.

Comments
No, it did not show how to create the pleats, the folded pleats had already been completed. Also not able to find the pleats type tool box as showed in the video. The Videos are too short, nothing much have been revealed
@nattyabbey -To add pleats, a 2D pattern should have internal lines. In case, if you haven't added internal lines, add and then try adding pleats.
how to create the pleate
I am having problem with the auto-pleat, after simulating the pieces the pleats are not laying flat. Meaning, the pleats is used as a design detail, and are place between seams. Can you help me to resolve this problem?
