How to Create Darts in CLO3D

Darts are one of the simplest ways to add shaping to a garment pattern. In this quick CLO3D tutorial, I show how to create a dart directly in the 2D pattern window and adjust it as part of the pattern development process.

Next step: Once you’ve created a dart, learn how to rotate it and move the shaping to a new position in CLO3D.
