Valentina's Layout generator was not designed to create a fabric layout. It doesn't obey grainline. Right now you can use it only for preparing workpieces for export or printing.
 
Creating really powerful layout generator is hard task. The main goal of current implementation is to allow you work with pattern and quickly export your result. It was design to quickly create a valid layout using your PC power. Very often a layout will be far from optimal for you. But if you are not satisfied with automatically generated layout you always can export it in SVG (or any other vector based formats) and rearrange workpieces as you need.
 
To create a layout you must pass at least one workpiece to Layout generator. If you have at least one workpiece, but still can't start creating because Valentina doesn't see any please check if at least one is selected in section Group. This section control which workpieces will be passed to Layout generator the next time. To begin creating switch to the Layout mode. If there is no previously rendered layout then Valentina will automatically show you a dialog with options.
