Overview
Garment QA runs 8 validators against the open garment and flags problems by severity. Where a fix is safe to apply automatically, the plugin can auto-fix findings in bulk instead of requiring manual correction one at a time.
Requirements
VStitcher 2025.3.0 or newer (BwApi 3.x)

Step 1: Open the Garment
Open a garment in VStitcher, then click Plugins → Garment QA.
Step 2: Run Checks
