Beginner's Guide to CLO Part 3 Garment Details: Hardware & Trims (Lesson 5)

[@randyfernando4442]

thanks for this very clear instruction! i just started learning clo and stuck adding zipper on my jacket. you explained it very well!

[@CLO3D]

Glad it was helpful!

[@xdepredatex]

Will there be a tutorial for the drawstring?

[@CLO3D]

Sorry for the late response. Were you able to find the information you needed?

@@CLO3D Hey! I'd like to have this tutorial too :-)

[@kimiyana2011]

Hello, Thank you for all the tutorials Im learning alot. however I do have a problem , when I try to add the buckle OBJ as an avatar it says: 'Arrangement Points were not fitted to the avatar. The avatar must be in a T-pose or A-pose.' Then again 'Fitting Suit cannot be created. The avatar must be in a T-pose or A-pose.' And it never loads the buckle. Do you know why this is happening?

[@CLO3D]

So glad you are enjoying it! You can ignore those pop ups. That is if you were bringing in a human avatar which you planned to use instead of a CLO avatar

[@kimiyana2011]

@@CLO3D But it never actually adds the buckle to my workspace. I can see a gizmo but its not attached to anything visible.

[@CLO3D]

You may need to check the scale it is importing at. Could be very small. But for further help please post to our community forums or official discord as these will allow you to post photos so we can see

I can't see topstiches in binding when I simulate. However when I stop the simulate I can see my topstiches. I already try to copy all your configuration and follow your steps.

[@CLO3D]

When simulation is ON top stitches hide/do not show. This is normal and developed this way on purpose. The default topstitches are very small .OBJs that do have geometry, any extra geometry can affect simulation speed so they deactivate and are not shown when simulation is on. This allows simulation to run faster.

HI there, at 3:40 you used free sewing to join the zipper teeth pattern to the body, however after i create the sewing direction on the zipper teeth pattern i am unable to click on the pattern for the body. I ended up using segment sewing instead, however what may have been the cause of the issue for the free sewing not to work?

[@CLO3D]

Hi. For Free Sewing you must click to start the sewing and click to end the Sewing on the first patter piece (zipper). This will complete the first sewing section. Then follow the same path on the body pattern with a click to start and a click to end. So Free Sewing will have a total of 4 clicks. It is likely you did not click to complete the first part of the sewing so it would not allow you to go to the other pattern piece

[@7gaggo]

Is there a way for the buckle to move with the simulation (like the buttons)? I'm using marvelous designer and can't figure a way to have my buckle moving and following the movements of the belt, it just stay suspended in the air.

[@CLO3D]

Try importing the buckle as a trim instead of an obj. Here is a link to the discord for Marvelous Designer and you can talk to other Marvelous Designer users discord.gg/HAh568h

@@CLO3D I've bought a pack from Digital Combine on artstation where there's a marvelous designer project with differents buckles and straps etc. I've tried to analysed it but i don't understand everything, he uses an invisible garment behind the buckle to glue it on.

[@reneebedell01]

Hi, thanks for the excellent tutorial! When I add bonding to my placket it turns orange. How do I stop this?

[@CLO3D]

In the 3D Toggle menu, there is a trims section... "Show Bond/Skive"

[@reneebedell01]

@@CLO3D Ah, got it. Thank you!

[@kidnap2010]

Very clear and precise. Real good video. I have always wondered how you use the snaps buttons? Is it the same than other buttons? Because they don't have buttonholes... How do you make them close together?

[@CLO3D]

The 2 parts of the snaps do not actually connect to each other. You can add a very small button hole behind the one side of the snap and connect the other one to that.

[@saqibmalic]

hi how do i attatch my Trim to Avatar,like you said in video you Should import Trim as Avatar so it can Collide with Garments,but how do i attatch this if my Original avatar moves.

[@CLO3D]

Hi There. Trims need to be attached to a fabric/garment and not an avatar. If you bring the Trim in as an Avatar it will not move, but instead remain static. You can then use the gizmo to place the trim, but if the garment moves/animates the trim will not move. If you want the Trim to move with the avatar you will need to bring the item in as a trim and then "glue" into place.

[@nusaibahibraheem8183]

I think the video skips some steps which isn't very good for a beginner tutorial. What if one has an extended button placket, how do you approximate the pattern on the 3D window

[@CLO3D]

We would have to disagree as this workflow has been used, reviewed, updated over many years. It would be recommended to Offset Pattern Outline in the 2D Window.

[@mpc9476]

For some reason I can't figure out, I can't overstitch on top of the binding, the stitches stay under it, hidden.

[@CLO3D]

Topstitching on binding is added when the binding is active; in the property editor you can apply topstitching.

[@SlyerPass]

Thanks for this but every time I download these project files, the library does not contain all the items you're using, any ideas what's wrong?

[@CLO3D]

Did you press the download icon at the top of the library? This will check to see if you have all of the assets

[@elenamertoglu6290]

I seem not to have the "Add to workspace" option when trying to add pullers from the library, only "Copy the Path", therefore I cannot add objects. Is it because I use a trial version of the program?

[@CLO3D]

The Trial Version is the full version. You can Double Click on the Trim or OBJ and you will get an import dialogue.

[@gamaputra23]

Hi! i wanna ask, i'm done with this step 13:27 then i click simulate. but when simulating, my trim/my avatar couldn't fit into the rope. can anybody help? thanks a lot

Hi. You may want to join our CLO Discord. This way you can add images and we can see what is happening and give suggestions

[@nsnaveen]

it does not animate with the model? how to attach a obj to the model so it animate along it?

[@CLO3D]

You must attach as Trim to a pattern piece.

[@benjaminneufeld6137]

hello would you happen to have any tutorials on how to make metal objects

[@CLO3D]

This tutorial shows how to make a simple object. The techniques can be applied to make any hardware object. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH-mnZmHm99qj80

[@mckingbrand]

Thank you for this video I have a question for the buckle example, I tried to load the buckle and the software kept on removing my avatar every time I would load it as an avatar which was a bit frustrating because as you know the strap wont hold if you don't load it as such. How can I avoid this from happening?

[@CLO3D]

Have you tried "Adding" the buckle into the workspace? Use File Add>Avatar. If the object is in a folder that is linked to your library right click on it and choose add.

[@Westsideever1]

Hey, did you solve it? I have the same problem.

[@olhamukhina7570]

I do not get as many options for the binding in the property editor in 6.0

[@CLO3D]

The lesson was done using version 5.1. The options may be laid out differently, but everything, if not more is there. Make sure you select the binding with the edit binding tool.

[@margaretbelder8163]

I wanted to add a lining to the bra and then to the binding tape. But everything collided. Any idea how this works with binding tape? I did a separate version with cut&sewn taping with an internal offset line, but I am not sure whether this is the correct way to do it, pattern wise I mean. Because it will change the size of the pattern of the bra. However, it looked better than using the binding tape function. Do you have any idea? Thanks!

[@CLO3D]

Sorry for the late reply. Were you able to solve your issue.

[@Tenchinu]

I've had troubles with the tutorial since my toolbar doesn't show both puckering or binding options. Where can I go to put them back on the toolbar? I'm using MD9

[@CLO3D]

Sorry MD does not come with the Puckering and binding features. This is a component build into CLO only.

[@katherinebrm]

Thank you for the video :) There is a file called drawstring with a hoodie but it was not explained. Will it be in the future?

[@jiaqianchan7505]

weird. I pulled the belt out, but it bounces back to its original place without pulling the buckle with it..?

[@CLO3D]

Yes. In this technique, the buckle is an avatar and does not move.

[@babysole]

I was practicing the bindings file and I added a red topstitch on my binding. It was visible until I hit simulate. It only reappears when I am on the edit binding tool. What should I do?

[@CLO3D]

Topstitching will not be visible when you simulate. It WILL be in the render.

[@tombol5]

Great video and all is clear for regular buttons, but how do I close (snap together) a snap button. I ve looked for a tutorial or explanation but couldn't find it, is anyone familiar with the execution? Thnx.

[@CLO3D]

Currently snaps to not truly "snap". You could use the Tack tool to "connect" the two parts of the snaps

Any hardware options for Hoodie hole? or string?

[@CLO3D]

If you go to Hardware & Trims> Cords & Cord Ends - There will be .zpac files that are cloth and can be sewn on. The .trm files are hard and can be glued on. The button tools have a Grommets built into the shape options, or you can make them as a topstitch finish as well.

[@polkunus]

I dont understand how on earth the binding tool is useful for drafting patterns, its just a visual change and doesnt reflect the pattern at all. It needs to create a binding strip so the sample maker can actually cut the binding strip to its appropriate length and then bind over the raw edges. With how it is now, its entirely performative

[@CLO3D]

The binding tool is simply a way to create the visual representation of binding [as is the piping tool]. Both can be created with pattern pieces and sewn into place if desired.

[@danecamoes]

What exactly does "Bond" do?

[@CLO3D]

Bonds add stiffness like fusing would.

[@jarroyomaranata]

my buttons keep being placed on the wrong side of the waistband! i place them on the right side on 2d window and when I simulate it puts them behind my waistband on the wrong side ... whats happening?

[@CLO3D]

This is happening probably because the fabric of your waistband might be "inside out" - where the back of the fabric is actually facing outward. Buttons default to sit on the "face of the fabric" so if your fabric is flipped is makes them go inside because that is technically where the face of fabric is. You can fix this quickly with an option called "Flip Normal" . In the 3D window right click on the waistband (or any inside out piece) and choose "Flip normal" in the right click menu. This will then switch the face and back sides. You may have to unfasten>re-set? and then re-fasten your button again, but this should fix it. Disclaimer about Flip Normal Tool : This is something to use sparingly for situations where a lot of the work has been completed and not too much more sewing or assembly will occur. The reason is because when you flip this piece in 3D it also flips in 2D window - so if you check your sewing after that will also look "flipped". This is all OK just be aware that he piece also filliped in 2D if you plan to do more assemble or sewing. It is generally best practice to make sure all pieces face correct directing when arranging and sewing. You can check this by toggling to Textured Surface View (Vertical Toggle Display Menus 0:09:11) to see the backside of the fabric as grey to confirm which direction fabric face points. **When Arrangement points are used they automatically place face of fabric outward so you don't have to worry too much about this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3PWo4eMipybbJI

[@jiaqianchan7505]

I can't figure the step where I remove the seams on the placket to make it look more natural. All seams are red.

[@CLO3D]

Maybe you have internal lines showing in the 3D window? You can turn this off/on in the 3D Verticle toggle menu. The video linked below will explain where that is located. Vertical Toggle Display Menus 0:09:11 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIqvZHyjar15fqM
