Automate the lacing process by guiding the lacing pattern and direction through designated holes.
This tool eliminates manual intervention by automatically routing the cord and generating an editable pattern for further customization.
Workflow
Select the Lacing Tool from the 2D Toolbar.
Click the starting hole where the lacing begins or where the cord is first inserted.
Click the next hole in your desired sequence.
Continue clicking holes until you reach the last or exit hole.
To complete the sequence, double-click the final hole or press Enter.
An editable lace pattern will automatically generate in the 2D window for further modifications.
※ Note
When you click the hole, press Backspace key to undo the final step. Click Esc key or Ctrl+Z key to undo the whole creation step.
Options
After finalizing the path, you can reverse its direction or adjust its curvature.
Reverse Direction
Immediately after finalizing the path, a reverse icon
will appear attached to your cursor.
Click a specific hole to reverse the lacing direction at that point.
E.g., changing if the cord enters from the top or bottom of the eyelet.
Check the 3D window to see the routing changes update in real-time.
Adjust Curvature
Adjust the cord's arc using the slider. Increasing curvature helps stabilize simulation by preventing the cord from colliding with or clipping into nearby patterns.
※ Note
The generated lace is a standard pattern piece; you can independently edit its thickness, material, or physical properties in the Property Editor like any other garment part.
If the cord enters an eyelet from the wrong side in 3D, use the reverse icon to flip the orientation without redrawing the entire path.
