Requirements

Tools/Instruments
• Computer with Software for Pattern Making

Procedure

1 Double click on the icon of the draping software.

2 Open the required pattern file. This file is a symmetric file and all the patterns have the quantity of two. Only
half the amount of the actual pieces is needed.
3 Go to Grading Menu. Select Zero Grading and Select Zero All Grading. Select ‘All pieces in the file’ in the
Dialog box.

4 Make sure the style consists of all patterns necessary. If some are missing, we may copy and paste, then flip
or rotate accordingly. The pieces are the right side pieces. Lay the patterns out in a sensible manner on the
screen.
5 From the View menu select 3D and select “Properties” dialog that can be found in the 3D subfolder. Dock this
window by default vertically on left side of the screen. For each and every piece select the appropriate initial
body position. Click one on the piece to select. Pieces can be multiply selected using “Shift” key or by dragging
a rectangle and assigned similar properties.
