Adding a Fold to an Edge
To replicate the edge of a garment being folded over one or more times, you can add a fold to the edge of a piece using the force multiplier for edges feature.
The force multiplier properties of an edge are:
Amount - number of real-life folded layers of the fabric
Depth - depth of the fold
For example, if your real-life garment requires the fabric be folded 4 times, to a depth of 1 cm, to achieve the desired strength:
Set Amount to 4.
Set Depth to 1.
To use force multiplier:
-
On the Main toolbar, click Select.
Note: On the Horizontal contextual menu, ensure Pieces is selected.
In the 2D window, select the edge you want to fold.
-
In the Context view, in the Edge Properties section, select Force Multiplier. The force multiplier properties are displayed.
-
Type the values you want for Amount and Depth.
