Beginner's Guide to CLO Part 2 Editing: Shapes, Internal Shapes, & Symmetry (Lesson 1)

[@TiaunaT]

For Mac users, its command + the left click to make the curve, NOT control. Control deletes everything.

[@CLO3D]

👍🏻

[@mtilsonfl]

what do you mean left click? my mac doesn't have a right or left click.

[@nathenlangford9990]

At 10:25, you did a shortcut to show the blue dots on your avatar. I'm not sure how to follow along with that...

[@CLO3D]

That is activating the Arrangement Points. Either through the 3D Toggle Menu under the Avatar Options, or Shift+F

[@makeout-hill]

You didn't explain any of what you did between 10 minutes and 11 minutes

[@edwardng748]

To the top left of the 3D window, you can see "8 boxes". Choose the "4th boxes", and the select "Show arrangement points". Then attach your fabric pieces to the correct point on the body. FYI, just started using CLO 15 minutes ago. Correct me if i am wrong.

Hi, I have a question- At 20:19- when I release the dart, the cut is not happening, it just draw the dart line which I couldn't click what could be the reason? kindly help

[@CLO3D]

Hi Dinesh. Sounds like you may have used the Base Dart Tool and not the regular Dart tool. Base Tools just draw a purple marking and do not actually create darts. The two tools on the tool bar do look similar. The Regular Tools for Making Internal Lines/Darts on the tool bar is drawn with a solid line and will show as Red in the 2D/3D windows. The Base Tools button is a dashed line and will show as purple in the 2D/3D window. Hope this helps!

[@muriellemaalouf9882]

What command did she use to arrange the pieces? in 10:25

You can learn about how to use arrangement points in this tutorial link below kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3PWo4eMipybbJI

[@derekframptondavis9240]

I'm working on an iMac OSX version with a 3-button mouse and Polygon tool + Ctrl erases all points before being able to left click instead of creating a curve point. Any ideas?

[@TiaunaT]

I just had the same problem with my MacBook. I am disappointed there was no response to this question.

[@TiaunaT]

Idk if you have it figured out by now, but press Command while left clicking is how to make the curve.

[@jowoolf6821]

Hi there, how do you do the action at 5:31 on a mac?

Hi Jo Woolf. Mac commands can vary depending on if you are using a magic mouse or a 3 button mouse. But you can find a list of the commands on this link support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360000825988-Mac-Navigation

Hi, I know this video was made a little while ago, and I just added a dart in the practice file. When I tried to sew segment there was an error message. It seem that when we create the darts in the current version, the sewing is included.

[@CLO3D]

Correct. If you are looking for newer tutorials we also recently launched CLO Academy . You can find links on the CLO Learning Page - clo3d.com/en/learning#individual

[@ElenaPaun1]

With the Magic Mouse, the right-click doesn’t work to open the settings window for the polygon tool. It only works with a mouse that has three buttons.

HI. Mac navigation is different. You can find more information about that on our website support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360000825988-Mac-Navigation

On Mac the latest version doesn't allow you to use the Delete key to go back one step. Looks like this has been a persistent issue for a while since I looked up their FAQs and someone complained about this exact thing 3 years ago.

Hello, I viewed your dart section which is great. But to your point on the error if you try and have the dart outside, how should I create a dart just like a triangle on the edge? Ie not a diamond inside the bodice.

[@CLO3D]

Hi. Once you add seam allowance to the project you can edit the type/shape of the seam allowance in the Property Editor.

[@mfc4655]

When I make internal lines I cannot edit them again using the edit tool, once I've made an internal line it doesn't even have the ball at the end to select it or edit it, it's just a line.

[@mfc4655]

I was using the baseline feature to draw internal lines not the internal lines feature. They're right next to each other, I'll leave it up so that others can use it as a solution maybe

[@CLO3D]

Appreciate the follow up and solution. It will definitely help others!

[@MDesigner3D]

What if we need a dart coming out of the pattern like the ones we do for the breasts area? How can we do that?

[@StudioROSADO]

I have very high hopes for your software, but this tutorial is very frustrating especially starting from 10:25. The teacher should show how she get the blue dots through toolbars or if she is a using a shortcut, she should say loudly "Press Shift + F", when she Simulates the garment, she should show where to find it through toolbar or say "Press SPACE" for a shortcut. And use mouse right key and hold to rotate the 3D avatar. We can only hear that she is hitting some buttons on the keyboard but we don't see them! I promise you will get more new clients faster if you work on this issue.

[@CLO3D]

This video was released 18 months ago and this is the first comment related to this.

[@StudioROSADO]

@@CLO3D I really appreciate you made this tutorial in the first place, you have put a lot of work in it. However, there are 8 more comments saying it's not understandable and 3 of them literally refer to 10:22 Instead of sending us to a random video from another tutorial or replying that there is no issue, you could own up to your mistake and at least make a pinned comment with the keyboard shortcuts that were never mentioned in the video at the exact timestamps.

[@keonakalu4906]

Very much agree. I only came to the comments to see if anybody had asked about this portion. Also it's weird that the company would respond saying well this video it's been out for 18 months already and you're the first person to talk about it so it must not be a problem

[@xaviereasterlin2041]

how do you close off shapes when using the polygon tool, the points just keep going. also for Mac users how do you bring up the menu for the distance in between points?

[@CLO3D]

You have to click on the first point to close the shape. For certain technique you must use a right-click or "secondary-click"

[@pandpen]

How can you merge pattern of different sizes? Similar to Illustrator Pathfinder Unite tool?

[@CLO3D]

Yes. But if the size varies greatly make sure to "sew" them together first and then use the Edit Sewing tool > Right click > select merge from drop down menu. This will have the pieces merge into one where the sewing exists

[@joylorraine505]

So would you say that 'internal lines' are essentially style lines on the garment ?

[@CLO3D]

We can say that, but interlines are not limited to being style lines. For the purpose of 3D they can be part of or become dozens of other types of things. I have listed out a few of them. -Can become a topstitch location -Can be a marking to attach a pocket or other part -Can be a fold location for a pleat,cuff, etc, -Can become a hole, or a dart -Can can become a seam line -Can mark locations for buttons or other hardware placement -can become an elastic area if elastic is applied -Used heavily in patternmaking process generally. -Can be a graphic position or measuring location -"Cut" function will turn them into a scissor type function. This is a short list but there are lots more depending on the creative setting

If you have bezier handles you will not have curve points. Handles will be what create the curves. If you add a curve point, the bezier handles connected to that segment will be removed.

I noticed in version 6 - if you draw from inside the pattern to outside the pattern - the error does not appear. If you draw from outside the pattern the error appears. It happens with an internal line, or shape. Can you please confirm this is the case - or is it a glitch or a CLO update ?

[@CLO3D]

If you are referring to drawing Internal Lines in general, you are correct. You MUST start drawing inside the pattern piece with Internal tools.
