3 Create Curved Line
1 Edit Curvature
There are two different types of curved line, 3-Points Curve(Curvature) and Freeform Curve.

point (orange dot). You can add curvature on a straight line and adjust the curvature.
You can create Freeform Curves using Edit Curve Point Tool. Free Curves allows you to add curve points
on a segment so you can have different curvature as many as you want on the same segment. With Edit
Curve Point tool, you can manipulate curvature and switch the control point created by 3-Point Curves to
a curve point but curve point does not split any lines.

In this chapter, you will learn draping process of a garment in the Avatar Window. It follows sequential
steps; synchronization, placement and simulation of patterns.
7.1 Synchronize
Synchronization is a first step to drape patterns in the Avatar Window. All the changes including seam
line, print texture, particle distance made in the Pattern Window are instantly reflected in the Avatar
Window by Synchronization.
When the Synchronize button is on, you can see that all changes in pattern window reflect in the
avatar window instantly. So you can edit patterns and see its change in 3D garment in real time. But you
should know turning Syn button on makes computer performance slow so it is better for you to turn it
off when you do not need it.
You also can see if the Sync button is on or off by the different pattern color. If a pattern has never been
synchronized, it appears transparent. If the pattern has ever been synchronized, it appears red. If the
pattern is synced over 3D avatar window, it turns blue.

1 Simulate
Pattern pieces are draped on the avatar body by clicking the simulation button. When Simulation button
is on, pattern pieces drop on the floor or hang on the avatar body.

Location
Operation
1.Click the (Simulation) button to drape. See the Location section to find the command.
When working with pattern in Pattern Window and no need to be simulated at this moment,
turn off Simulation button to speed up computer performance because computer keeps calcu-
lating for simulation.
Turn on both the (Simulation) and (Synchronize) buttons, then any changes of patterns
in Pattern Window are immediately reflected in the Avatar Window. See the details in 7.1
Synchronizesection.
You can interact with garment in real time by click and drag the piece of garment.

2 Display Simulation Speed
Knowing simulation speed is useful to check the CLO 3D software suitability in your computer and the
status of animating performance.
Location
Operation
1.Choose Show Frame Rate from the menu. See the Location section to find the command. Then the
simulation speed information appears at the right bottom corner of the screen.
Simulation speed tells FPS (frames per second). The higher the speed, the faster the simulation
speed.
