   Properties	Description
   Sewing Line Type	Turned (Off)	Fold Strength	180° represents a flat state. The internal line is folded towards the front of the pattern as the fold angle is closer to 0˚ and is folded into the back of the pattern as the angle is closer to 360˚.
   		Fold Angle	The intensity of the fold is able to be set by adjusting the value of Fold Strength. The higher the value, the closer the fold is to the set angle. When a jacket and its lining are sewn together, the sewn area inflates due to the default sewing angle and intensity values. In this case, set the Fold Strength to 0 to flatten the sewn boundaries.
   	Turned (On)	Sew two layers of pattern flatly. The Fold Strength and Fold Angle settings cannot be adjusted.
   Tension	When the 3D garment is expressed as being stretched more than the actual garment, adjust the Tension of Sewing Line. Same as the actual real life concept, Tension is applied based on the short or long side with the Ease and Stretch options.
   	Sewing Line Type	Ease	When the seam lengths differ, this type adds a slight allowance, resulting in a relatively soft sewing tension.
   		Stretch	When the seam lengths differ, this type does not add any allowance, resulting in a more precise and higher sewing tension.
   	Strength	Increase or decrease the strength of the sewing tension by entering the value. The result may vary depending on the Strength even with the same Ratio value.
   	Ratio	Adjust the sewing tension's ratio to express varying drape effects by different sewing methods.
   Set Sublayer	Assign orders to the Sewing Lines on a Pattern that folds on itself such as seam allowances and pleats, to increase simulation stability.
   	Reverse Direction	Swap the order of the Sewing Line and the Sewed Line.
   	Sublayer	Decide which side of the fabric is attached to the fixed Sewing Line, Back or Front.
   Topstitch	Name	Rename the Topstitch.
   	Topstitch Property	Change the style of the selected Topstitch.
   	Extend	When the start or end point of a Topstitch does not reach or sticks out of the Pattern outline, extend it to fit to the Pattern.
   	Corner	Curved	Set the Topstitch corner type to extend the stitch more smoothly at corners.
   		Right Angled	Set the Topstitch to be a right angle in the corner of the pattern.
   		Smooth	Set it to continue naturally if the edge of the Topstitch is broken.
   	Offset	Set the Z Offset of the Topstitch.
   	Placement	Seam A	Topstitch will be shown only on Seam A.
   		Seam B	Topstitch will be shown only on Seam B.
   		Seam Both	Topstitch will be shown on both sides.
   Puckering	Name	Rename the Puckering.
   	Puckering Property	Change the style of the selected Topstitch.
   	Extend	Extend the start/endpoint of the puckering to the 2D pattern outline.
   	Offset	Offset (mm)	Adjust the distance between the puckering and the pattern outline. Include the Puckering Width in Offset or not if needed.
   		Z Offset (mm)	Adjust the distance between the Z-axis and a pattern piece.
   	Placement	Seam A	Puckering will be shown only on Seam A.
   		Seam B	Puckering will be shown only on Seam B.
   		Seam Both	Puckering will be shown on both sides.
   3D Seamline	Plain Seam	Normal Map	Select an image to be used as the Normal Map.
   		Intensity	Adjust the intensity of the Normal Map applied to the seamline.
   		Thickness (mm)	Adjust the thickness of the Normal Map applied to the seamline.
   	Directional	Placement	Select Seam A or Seam B for the placement of the seamline.
   		Normal Map	Select an image to be used as the Normal Map.
   		Intensity	Adjust the intensity of the Normal Map applied to the seamline.
   		Thickness (mm)	Adjust the thickness of the Normal Map applied to the seamline.
