Beginner's Guide to CLO Part 3 Garment Details: Folds & Pleats (Lesson 1)

[@kemer6097]

12:25 Pro gamer move that you can do to have a smooth collar after folding it is to add few ( around 4, 2 for each side of the line that you were folding on) internal lines there. Internal lines affects topology, so triangles will be so small that the folding there will look very smooth!!

[@CLO3D]

Thanks for sharing this tip! You can also remove a property on internal lines called Folder Rendering that eliminated a hard line on folded internals - And extra pro-tip is to change those folded pieces to quad mesh. To do this select the piece and in the property editor at the very bottom you will fine miscellaneous. Open that area and you can change piece mesh to Quad. This makes folded areas look very smooth. And of course lowering the particle distance. Hope that adds to your knowledge!

You mean me ^^? Here's my mail: [e-mail]

[@PINK_DESIGNER]

what do you mean? are you add more lines around the fold line and make it likewise a fold line? could you explain more? I highly appreciate your sharing, Thank you!

Great tutorial, thank you. Was really helpful having the additional practice files to test out the new skills on at the end of the tutorial, helped embed the learning. When you have to have to do it completely on your own is when the learning really goes in!

Glad to hear.

[@sarahwattley679]

Hello CLO, I am so excited about Part 3 of the series and this first lesson was great! I've encountered 2 problems and would so appreciate your help: 1. When I folded the collar and cuffs, they remained grey, even when I clicked away with the Select Tool. How do I make them return to white? 2. At timestamp 27:57 using the Pleats Sewing Tool, the sewing is mirrored on the back but not on the yoke. When I try to apply sewing there is an error message "overlapping sewing line." Is there a work around for this?

[@CLO3D]

Hello Sarah. When using the fold tool, the garment defaults to Textured Surface. If you switch tools and it is STILL grey, change to Thick Textured Surface in the 3D Toggle Menu > Garment Rendering. The video itself is only 27:50... I cannot check what you mentioned. I will say "Overlapping Sewing Line" means there is already a seam line in that place.

[@sarahwattley679]

⁠@@CLO3D thank you for this prompt response. I will follow those steps you outlined. Please look at timestamp 25:30 to clarify the second part of the question.

[@CLO3D]

This means you have overlapping sewing. So you likely need to delete some existing sewing

Hi, 9:36 fabric is still black( How it can be fixed ?

[@CLO3D]

Hi Forerd. You need to switch your 3D Toggle fabric view from Textured Surface to Thick Textured Surface. This is also covered in the very first video of the beginner series kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIqvZHyjar15fqM at the 9:10 mark

[@celineleblanc1047]

Hi there, same question as Alexandre Jouniot. How did you make the collar white in spite of grey once it's folded please?

[@CLO3D]

This is a result of being on Thick Textured Surface - In the corner of the 3D window there is a small vertical menu, in fabric rolls area you will find Thick Textured Surface . Make sure to be on the thick version because the other version is the thin view (Textured Surface) with grey background as you are seeing.

Hello, I'm wondering if the reason I don't have the gizmo feature is because I'm using a free trial version that's limited, or is it because I don't know how to use it?

[@mizhou1602]

Hi, do you know why my collar changed into grey after I fold it?

[@dennytapia6572]

[@CLO3D]

Turn on the Thick Textured Surface in the 3D Toggle Menu

[@Istomina_patterns]

hello. I don't understand why you change "custom angle" to "turned" in property editor after sewing together small pieces of pleat on the back detail of a shirt. I checked the video called "sewing" where you use "turned" for collar and I can see how the look of a collar changes during the proccess. But I don't see any difference when I turn on "turned" for the pleat on a chirt. Why do we do that?

[@CLO3D]

Hello. I assume you are speaking about the sewing at approx 17.25. Turned seams will help the pattern lie flat. There is an example here. support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000496627--Property-Sewing-Line-Type

[@shireenal-lawati6807]

how can you add folds that are not at the edge of the fabric? for example I want to add tucks to the waist, like only right at the middle not at the beginning nor at the end of a pattern piece? so in real life you fold the fabric and sew at the desired width of the fold and press to one side. how can I mimic that in clo?

[@CLO3D]

Hi. Yes you can Add Internal Lines and then fold and sew them closed. Tis video goes over that. and there are a few others we can link below kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5DSaGmHYqeAmqM kzbin.info/www/bejne/gauzpZ6qhaaCqLc

[@luisadirube5590]

Hello! I can´t find the ¨fold¨ option inside the ¨property editor¨ file. I do not have the same options as you do. My CLO version is 6.2. Why does that happen? How can i fix it?

[@CLO3D]

If you are not seeing all the tools you may need to UNGROUP them in User Settings. Fold can be applied in the Property Editor to an Internal Line OR if you select a Sewing SeamLinePairGroup with Edit Sewing.

[@sasindusilva2907]

Hi, at the back yoke pleat, when I sew all the pleated piece to the back yoke piece, I get small triangle like pieces showing the back of the fabric. Anyone knows why this is? I tried several times to eliminate this but could not.

Try using the Hi Res Garment Tool. Often when the Particle Distance is at the default (20), you can get artifacts where there are small folds/details.

I started a new garment. No avatar. Added a 27x90 rectangle. Click the two sides and distributed 9 internal lines between segments. Selected lines 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, and in property editor set fold angle to 0 and fold rendering to ON. Selected the even lines and set fold angle to 360 and fold rendering to ON.

actually I worked it out, it's becasue of the symetric sewing, it has sewed the top of the folds of the pleat together on both left and right of the back panels when you make the first pleat sewing, but not both to the yoke. Guess you would have to remove the linked editing to make the second pleat sewing work.

how did you make the collar as double side

[@sanc1432]

When you select a piece of fabric look in the Property Editor and you will want to Check the box next to double sided. you can find this below Curved Side geometry and above Simulation properties. it wont show that it is double sided unless you render or check Thick Texture Surface in your 3d window settings. Hope this helps.
