Flattening - Seam Lengths

Hi,

When using the flattening feature the patterns produced often have different seam lengths.

Is there a way to ensure that 2 adjoining edges have the same seam length? Or is there a way to lock a dimension after changing its dimension to be the same as the length it's joined to?

Thanks

  Hi @rjbtsim

  Unfortunately, there's no option to fix dimension :( However, our main developer is aware of this issue and will improve in the future.

  Hi @rjbtsim

  I experience the same thing. There is a way to change the seam length. It has to be a precise movement and the 2D part of Clo3d has not caught up to the robust 3D sections.

  I can suggest using the 2D grid to align the 2 pieces you want to match and use the Change length option/tool selecting both directions (this menu comes up when you right click on a line)

  This way you can ensure the line length is correct. However, matching the seam shape after flattening tool will be better handled in a separate 2D program that has more linear control and more point control.

  I think this is a good opportunity for Clo3D to add shape points to flat garment pieces that can lock shape once points are deleted before sewing. Hope this helps. If you need pics I will provide.
