A cluster is a group of one or more pattern pieces.
-
Clusters define the position of the 2D pattern shapes on the avatar in the 3D window.
-
Clusters are allocated to locations which you can view in arrange mode.
-
Each cluster has a wrap type setting which determines how it wraps in place.
-
All pieces of a garment must be in a cluster.
For more information, refer to How to Arrange Pieces.
Note
You can now arrange pieces into cluster using the 3D window. For more information, refer to Arranging Clusters in 3D.
