→ Sewn parts of the Block Boxes turn into darker grey.

※ Note:

• Block Boxes are sewn together by default.
• Patterns that are sewn alone (i.e. hems, sleeves or armholes of a sleeveless style) do not need to be sewn to Block Boxes.
• Difference in length between the actual Patterns and the Block Boxes has no effect on the Simulation.
• Rest of the principle is the same as the Simulation Mode.
• To show Sewing Lines between Block Boxes and Patterns, activate the Show Modular Sewing/Show Pattern Sewing tool. This tool is activated by default in the Modular Mode. Click it again to either hide or show all Sewing Lines.
