  As of 2021.3, holes can be added into a pattern. For more information, please check out this article: https://help.browzwear.com/hc/en-us/articles/4921536880281-Creating-Holes-and-Slits

  Hi Sridhar,

  Unfortunately there are no option to cut a shape out of a full pattern piece. Instead, I can suggest creating the look of a hole by shaping it into the pattern from the edge.

  Start by adding three close together corner points at the edge where you want to cut into the piece. Set all points to sharp or curved. Drag the center corner point into the pattern. Add additional points and handles to shape out the hole. Stitch the cut together so that only the hole is open. Turn off stitch construction on the cut edges.

  

  Hope this is helpful for you, 

  Zisie

  I saw this in tip earlier, but it is cumbersome to use this work flow.  May be this feature can be added in feature versions.

   

  thanks

  HI Sridhar,

  If the hole is decorative, such as a laser cut design, we can use “hide background” on a seam, artwork, or edge assignable trim to achieve this look.

  In the below example, we have created a simple mid-grey square with a transparent center.

  

  We will import this as a seam or edge assignable trim and assign it to internal lines.

   

  

   

  Next, we will recolor the grey to be the same color as our garment and check the option for “hide background” and “use lower layer maps”.

   

  

  Hiding the avatar, we can see through the garment to the other side of the fabric.

  With a quick Vray preview, the impact is further enhanced. 

  

  Note: this application is not compatible with heathered or printed fabrics.

   

  Hope this helps!

  Zisie

  Hi, I have the same issue : I would like to cut big holes in my fabrics, to make interesting pocket designs. I also work on zero waste so it's important that my holes are a specific size and shape. I hope there will be an option to transform an internal shape into a hole soon !

  Thanks for these alternatives, I'll use them for now.

  Best regards,
