How to Use the Notch Tool in CLO 3D Easy step-by-step

How to Use the Notch Tool in CLO3D Video Step-by-step with Rose

Why do we need to know about the notch tool, and how to use it? As pattern makers, we use notches to identify a certain piece of garments that need to be sewn together. See the links: How to use the notch tool, and the notch tool property.

How to Use the Notch Tool Step-by-step

Option 1: Using the Notch Tool by Left-clicking

Here’s how to use the notch tool in CLO3D. The first way to use the notch tool. So, I’m going to go to this 2d toolbar, and then click on this notch tool. I’m going to hover the mouse over this line, then this red dot appears. I’m going to click one to place the notch. 

Option 2: Using the Notch Tool by Right-clicking.

The next option is to right-click on the line. While the notch tool is still active, I’m going to hover my mouse over this line. Then, the red dot appears. Next, I’m going to right-click. This will bring up a window that allows me to either select a specific length of the notch or split the length in haft or more. For this example, I’m going to just split the length in half. 

Option 3: Using the Notch tool with Edit Pattern/Edit Curve Point

I’m going to show you how to use 2 tools to add the notches onto the garment. See here, I have 2 points on this line. I’m going to come here to this 2d toolbar and I’m going to select this Edit Pattern tool (Z). After, that I’m going to hover the mouse over this point, then right-click and select Add Notch.

Next, I’m going to come back here once again at this 2d toolbar, and I’m going to select the Edit Curve Point tool (V). After that, I’m going to come over here and hover the mouse over this point and right-click, then select Add Notch.

Option 4: Removing the Notches in CLO

I’m going to show you how to remove the notches. I’m going once again to come to the is 2d toolbar. I am going to select the Notch tool. This allows me to just click on the notch and right-click select delete or I can simply click one on the notch, then press on the delete/backspace on the keyboard to delete, just like that.

While this notch tool is still active, I can click on this notch, then come to the Property Editor change the notch type, the angle of the notch, flip the notch to the opposite direction or lock it. 

I recommend exploring this notch tool because it is fun and useful for making patterns. There is more information via my YouTube channel Encoder Fashion. I’m Rose you can design anything!
