This feature allows you to choose a stitch construction type and create realistic stitching effects in 3D which display as true-to-life, properly interacting with the chosen lighting effect.
Stitch Construction Types
The following stitch construction types are available:
Directional Seam
This construction type simulates stitches which are added over one another in a particular direction, creating a bump or stair effect as shown in the following image:
Flat Seam
This construction type has no effect on the connected edges; it is completely flat.
Open Seam
This construction type simulates stitches which are evenly distributed between the two stitched edges without a seam material on top, typically giving a valley shadow effect as shown in the following image:

You must enable enhanced layer blending to use Directional and Open Seam stitch construction types. If not enabled, a warning icon is displayed when you select these stitch construction types.
To enable enhanced layer blending:
On the Main menu, click Garment.
