How to Use Grade Review Mode in CLO

[@elizabethmaginot3411]

Hello! Thanks for the video. I have a question about Review Mode: I am looking for a way to use pattern internal lines (hip, thigh, knee) to line up with the fit form landmarks. In review mode, I am unable to see any of the graded internal lines so I thought I could add a topstitch to these internal pattern guidelines. But, I am not able to see the topstitching in the review mode window either-- The topstitching shows up as a seam groove that is not bright enough to see in transparent mode. Do you have any tips? Thanks in advance.

[@CLO3D]

what about just a simple stripe and/or plaid texture added to the fabric.

[@elizabethmaginot3411]

@@CLO3D Thanks for the suggestion but that may not be specific enough for my use case. The issue I am having is that the topstitching I have added to the pattern is not showing up in grade review mode, I see no stitching at all--is this a glitch? I am using Virtual Alvaforms that have position markings on them for "Waist", "Low Hip", "Thigh", etc. When creating pattern blocks for these bodies, I add a line to the pattern to note where the "Waist", "Hip", Thigh" placements are on the pattern. When fitting the pant on the form, I use transparent fabric mode to check if the pattern is properly aligning to the form at these landmarks (Especially when developing the grade, I like to review the landmarks on all sizes to check my vertical grading is accurate). Looking forward to your reply, Thanks!

How do I make sure the POMs change size to size with auto grading. When I export and pair avatar sizes all of the POMs change.

[@CLO3D]

Hi There. Auto Grade is more like Auto Fit. You cannot make multiple Grades using Auto Grade ( A bit confusing name) You will instead need to use the Grading Tools that are shown in this video. Then as you add Grades you can check the POMs for each Grade

[@eatartsmokefashion]

@@CLO3D OK, well let’s make it work. To make the software able to use auto grade it’s very easy in fact I could actually talk with your developer team and tell them how to make sure that the POM‘s lineup if you use auto grading Please stop playing with peoples money enough with this halfass support and start hiring people who know how to run a software company and support I know how to use these grading tools already why would you offer the POM to work with the auto grading if you weren’t able to export them all at once instead of individually. Regardless of the auto grading, editing the individual grading still doesn’t save size by size by size and update the POMs there is literally an error in your scripting line that reads the different POM’s and patterns and displays the information it’s actually pretty easy to fix. It’s very very apparent that your software has been underdeveloped and put out way too quickly and you’re spending all your money on stupid marketing things like CLOchella that nobody cares about how are you make the software work first.

[@eatartsmokefashion]

@@CLO3D also I’ve watched through all of the grading tutorials and videos and manuals and forums no one seems to know how to actually save the grading size to POMs and make sure they save and assign to the correct pattern for spec sheet or tech pack stuff. And the tech pack you can download from CLO-set has the options for multiple size ranges and corresponding POMs yet they all stay the same column by column unless I save individual and manually input. It’s very clear this doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to at all. If you guys update and make sure he develops more nuanced industry tech pack options and make sure that they only work as far as actually going to factory production your software would be taken a lot more seriously industry wise and useable. Fix this!

I am using most recent version, I created 3D garment in size S, all other sizes are included in the dxf file. Then I paired with each size with the avatars but I do not see ‘review’ under simulation. Can you Help me what is the issue….

[@CLO3D]

In more recent versions Review was moved to the Menu Bar under Editor (same place Color way was moved too )

Hi, thank you for the video! I would like to change a pose to hands down from A-pose. It is not working. I'm using alvanon virtual forms.

[@CLO3D]

Standard Alvanon forms have locked joints. To be able to change poses you have to purchase files from Alvanon.

[@PINK_DESIGNER]

hi, could you tell me how to measure all the pattern sizes after grading to double-check if I am grading correctly?

[@CLO3D]

Grading is an art unto itself. There is not one single way to grade "correctly"; it is all based on the type of the garment and the size range. Though CLO can help you do this, the knowledge itself would come from the company/designer's knowledge.

How to make a view like on the cover-all sizes in one picture, not separated?

Hi, Could you please tell me the way how to get the sizing avatar?

[@CLO3D]

There are sizes in the folders with the Avatars in the Library. Here is a link to the Avatar Guide to edit the Avatar manually. support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052611653-CLO-Avatar-Editor-Guide

[@elahesaeidi2648]

Is thee any video on how to grade graphic?

[@CLO3D]

Unfortunately no, but it can be done with the same tools.

[@hasibebilge]

Hello, I do not understand whether you are using the body molds ready or you are adjusting it yourself, please reply.

[@CLO3D]

Hi Hasibe. We are using ASTM size files that can be applied in CLO to ready to use CLO avatars. If you take a look at our beginners series you can see how different sized can be applied kzbin.info/aero/PLqL8Ymi3Z68Dqra76a_j0Y_WCcD5WSq4J

[@saeidhaghighat2359]

why we couldn't use .avs avatar size in pair 3D form??

[@CLO3D]

AVS is a size file only, not a full Avatar (AVT).

[@saeidhaghighat2359]

@@CLO3D Is there a way convert avs to avt?

[@PINK_DESIGNER]

Hi, I would like to ask a question that is important while grading patterns in CLO, because, after grading we always measure to double-check if I am grading correctly. So is the ruler measuring all sizes of pattern available in CLO? and if it is available please show me how to use it. Another, after the measure is finished, I would like to show the measurement as an excel file, how to do that? Please help me😁 Thanks!

[@CLO3D]

If you add Point of Measures to your patterns in CLO, each graded size will have it's own set of measures. In the PoM tab, there is an option to download the PoM in CSV format.

[@paridoesupcycling]

why there's no tutorial on how to export patterns with grading?

[@CLO3D]

Hi There. Currently you can export a style with different sized from the Print Layout Mode. In the Nest Settings Property Editor you can choose number of garments and set to 1 of each. Please note this will lay out one of each and not nest them on top of one another. Currently in CLO you cannot nest like a paper patter you may purchase from a store. We do hope to add this in the future. Instead if you are looking to nest like this you would need to export each one one at a time then bring them into a program like Ai and stack them there. Hope this helps

[@PINK_DESIGNER]

And, another question: how about the button position, how to grade for button and buttonhole?

[@CLO3D]

Buttons/buttonholes are usually placed a specific distance from the edge and spaced based on the number of buttons and/or the length of the opening.

[@PINK_DESIGNER]

@@CLO3D maybe you do not understand my meaning, mean when grading is finished, all the buttons will still keep position that is base size

I want to find a video " How to graded pattern from scratch in Clo " in ver 6.2.

[@CLO3D]

The most important thing about grading patterns in CLO is the knowledge of how to grade a pattern in real life. This video will give you the basics of grading, but you will need to research how to do actual pattern grading. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3PSk4N_iseNr5I

[@nanjixing]

But I feel grading is wearing it on different height people，instead of putting them on fatter people

[@CLO3D]

You can adjust the height of the Avatar using Avatar Menu--> Avatar Editor

[@polkunus]

how is size 8 a medium, that is huge

[@CLO3D]

It is an example. And we all know how sizing in the US is all over the place.
