Location
Main Menu ▶ 2D Pattern ▶ Pleats ▶ Pleats
2D Toolbar ▶ Pleats
Operation
- Select the tool/menu indicated in Location.
- Click to create a start point and an endpoint of a reference line of the pleats along Pattern Outlines.
→ A Pattern is divided into two.
- Click on the side where the pleats will be added.
→ The Pleats window appears.
- Configure the options and select OK.
| Pleats Type | Select the type of the pleats (Knife, Box, or Accordion). | |
| Specification | Number of Pleats | Decide the number of pleats. |
| Depth | Assign the depth of the pleats (the depth of folded pleats). | |
| Interval | Set the interval between pleats when there are two or more pleats. | |
| Reverse Direction | Reverse the direction where the pleats will be added. | |
| Option | Assign fold angles to the fold lines. Greater the difference between the angle of Outside Fold and Inside Fold, sharper the folds are. | |
→ The pleats are created on the Pattern.
→ If there is an Internal Line in the Pattern, it is also moved and rotated along with the Pattern.
※ Note:
- If the segment where pleats are to be created is sewn to another Pattern, the pleats will be automatically sewn in place based on the pleat type selected. If the segment is not sewn, use the Pleats Sewing tool to sew the pleats to the other Pattern.
- Pleats are dependent on segment point locations. When a pleat is started between two segment points, it will not go further than the next segment point and will result in an error/ red color to indicate this.
