Pleats Fold not working

Hey all,

This is what I experience:

I am trying to set direction of the knife pleats (doing the detail exercises of CLO), so I select Pleats Fold, click outside the pattern piece, the direction arrow appears and I double click on the other side of the pattern piece. Reading the instructions, a pop-up window should appear but nothing happens. 

Any idea what to do or what I am doing wrong? I watched all the videos and read all the instructions already.

Many thanks,
Aspar

  Hi Asparruh,

  Do you have red Internal Lines that indicate where your pleat are? For example, each red line below will become a fold line and have an angle assigned to it once you use the Pleats Fold tool:

  

  If you have no lines or blue lines, the pop-up will not appear. The blue lines are actually base lines and need to be activated/converted into Internal Lines in order for you to fold them or edit them in any way. 

  Baseline:

  

   

  To activate the baselines, use the Trace Tool (shortcut I) in the 2D Toolbar and select all of the blue lines (hold down Shift to select multiple lines at once). Then hit the Enter key on your keyboard and they should automatically be converted into red Internal Lines.

  Trace Tool: 

  Now you can try the Pleats Fold tool and see if it works. If you're still having issues, please let me know and I'll see how else I can help.

  Hi Anh,

  It worked, thank you! I had forgotten to trace the lines.

  Best,
  Aspar

  Hi 

  Do you know why this pleat is showing a dark shaded area. The other side is ok.
