Marvelous Designer Support

Objective 

Modify existing Trims and apply them to garments with the following features.

• Glue Trim
• Tack on Trim
• Delete Trim
• Transform Trims
• Set Trim Stiffness
• Right-Click Options Menu
• Trim Simulation Recording

※Note:

• To learn how to import OBJ as Trim, please refer to articles 3D File (OBJ) Import/Export, 3D File (FBX) Import/Export and Trim Style Window (Ver. 2024.1)
• To Learn and modify Trim Properties, please refer to the Trim Properties page.
• With the current versions, Trim Simulation with Collision only works with CPU Simulation. This does not work with GPU simulation at this time.

Glue Trim

Objective

Glue 3D Trims onto Garments and simulate together (ver 3.0.0).

Operation

Glue Trim

1. Click the loaded Trim with the Select/Move tool.
   → Gizmo for the selected OBJ appears.
2. Click on the Glue icon next to the OBJ Gizmo, then mouse over the desired location.
   → preview tags along the mouse.
3. Click on the desired location.
   → Selected trim automatically attaches to the place.

4. Use the Gizmo to adjust the position and angle.

   ※ Note: To cancel the arrangement, press Esc on the keyboard.

5. Activate Simulation.
   → Trim is now being simulated along with the rest of the Garments.

    

※Note: You can select multiple trims and move or rotate those by using Gizmo. (ver. 11 )

Tack on Trim (ver. 2025.0)

Objective

Attach trims to desired locations on by using the tack tool to apply them to multiple points across and various patterns.

Operation

1. Using Select/Move tool in the 3D toolbar, click Direct Positioning next to the Gizmo.
2. Hover over the pattern and click the desired location.
3. Using Tack tool in the 3D toolbar, Click on an initial point on the trim.
4. Click on the desired point on the garment.
   * Repeat the step to tack the trim to multiple points
5. Click the Simulate tool.

※Note: Tack is not available on deactivated trims.

Delete Trim

Objective

Delete selected Trims

Operation

1. Select Trim in the 3D viewport
2. Click Delete key on Keyboard to remove.
   → Selected OBJ is now being removed from the Garments.
3. Delete trim can also be done through the right click options menu.  

Transform Trims

Objective

Transform trim as needed.

Operation

Via the Scale Gizmo

Click and drag on the X, Y, or Z-axis to transform the Trim.

→ The trim is transformed.
 

When the trim transformation is complete, click the Scale button again.
→ The Gizmo used for moving and rotating trims appears.

Via the Property Editor through Trim Style Window

1. Follow the indicated guideline below:

   Main Menu ▶ Window ▶ Trim

2. Select the trim style to be transformed.
   → The properties of the trim appear in the Property Editor.
3. Find the Scale option.
4. Enter the desired value for the below options.

Set Trim Stiffness (ver. 2024.2)

Objective

Semi-Elastic Trim can be achieved when reducing stiffness value. 

Operation

1. Select Trim in the 3D window.  
2. In the Property Editor, adjust Stiffness Value.
   → When Stiffness Value is reduced, the trim will be slightly bent when sufficient force is applied.

         → To get more rigid Trim simulation, increase the Stiffness Value. 

※Note: The Stiffness of the trim can only be set when the trim material is in the "active" state.

Right-Click Menu

Objective

Set extra Trim Options include Trim Simulation toggles, Unglue, refresh Trim Textures and export selected Trim to USD layer.

Operation

1. Select Trim in the 3D viewport.
2. Right-click on the selected Trim.
   → Trim is now being selected and Trim Options pop-up menu appears.

Trim Options

※Note:

• To copy and paste multiple trims, hold down the Shift key on the keyboard and select all trims to be copied, then perform the procedure above.
• When copying and pasting multiple trims, they must all be placed within a Pattern.

Trim Simulation Recording (Ver. 2025.0)

When recording garment animation, the simulation cache of the Trim is recorded a separate layer from the Pattern, under the descendant of the Garment Layer.
