Sewing

Sew pattern segments together to weld them in the 3D viewport during simulation.
📌Note: Each connection is paired 1:1, forming a set of two sewing lines.

1. Show the 2D Toolbar:

   • Click on the 2D editor window.

   • The toolbar switches to the 2D Toolbar.

2. Select the Sewing Tool:

   • Click the Sewing Tool in the toolbar.

3. Create/Edit Sewing Lines:

   • Create:

     1. Click on a segment of a pattern/internal shape to create the first sewing line.

   • Set Notch Direction:

     1. Before clicking a segment, move the mouse cursor along the ends of the segment.

     2. The notch, indicated by a crosshair, follows the cursor.

     3. Click to create a sewing line when the notch is in the desired direction.

     4. In the second segment, whether the notch directions are parallel or crossing affects how the fabric is sewn in the 3D viewport.

        • Parallel: Commonly used for regular stitching.

        • Crossing: Used for folded elements like pleats.

   • Select:

     • Click an existing sewing line to select it.
