You can add zippers in Lotta as a single smart object consisting of a number of default parts, giving you greater flexibility and ease of use in adding zippers to your garments.
Zipper Modes
VStitcher and Lotta support the following zipper modes:
-
One line zipper - both sides of the zipper are assigned to one edge or internal line
-
Two line zipper - each side of the zipper is assigned to a separate edge or internal line
The following image shows the zipper types on a garment.
The one line zipper mode is the default that is applied when adding a zipper. This zipper needs only one line or edge. It remains closed and uses the closed teeth building block. You can convert a one line zipper to a two line zipper by selecting another line or edge.
The two line zipper can be zipped and unzipped. You can convert a two line zipper to a one line zipper by disconnecting the second line or edge.
