Top: Segments selected
Bottom: S eam made b etween two panels
Delete Seam—Deletes selected seam. (Selected
seam is colored red).
Reverse Seam—Re verses or flips a twisted seam.
When creating seams, t he first vertex on each
segment is used to line up the resulting seam p anel.
Sometimes you can end up with a twisted seam
and will need to use Reverse Seam to untwist it.
A twisted seam that needs to be reversed
Mak e MultiSegment—AMultiSegmentisa
combination of two or more seg ments that w ill be
treated as one segment for the purpose of creating
seams. Select the seg ments you want to combine
then click this button. N ote that if the segments are
not contiguous, the gaps must be bridged by seams

Br eak M ultiSegment—Break apart selected
MultiSegments.
On—Turns the selected seam on or off, making it
active or inactive.
Crease a ngle—Creates a crease at the selected seam.

crease between the two panels or along an internal
seam line (page 1–610)
Left: High crease angle
Right: Low crease angle
Cr e ase St ren gth—Increase or decrease the strength
of the selected seam. This value affects how much
the seam will resist bending in relation to the rest
of the cloth object. A value of 2.0 means that the
clothwillhavetwicetheresistancetobending
that it would otherwise have (as defined by the
object/panel/ver tex group properties).
Sewing Stiffness—The amount of force with which
the panels are pulled together at simulation time.
A larger value pulls the panels together harder and
faster.
Cut—Applies only to an internal seam line (page
1–610). Makes a cut in the fabric at this seam line.
Seam Tolerance—Theamountofdifferencein
length b etween two edges that is per mitted in
the formation of a seam. The two segments
that comprise a seam should be about the same
length. If they have different lengths, the difference
must be within this tolerance range. If you seam
together two seg ments that are sig nificantly
different in length, the cloth will tend to bunch up
(which could be a desired effect). In order to allow
