[[File:Seamly2D Tutorial 24.png|center|500x500px]]We now have finished marking all necessary points.
◆
Add some groups, sow we can organize all nodes and show/hide them as needed. After that we will add all the bpoint we created to the group <code>'''Grid'''</code>.
We will need some more reference nodes for the curves. Therefore will will change the name of the basepoint.[[File:Seamly2D Tutorial 28.png|center|300x300px]]◆
You can hide all the points we added to the '''<code>Grid</code>''' group. So you will see only the new points. Add those to the group '''<code>Curves</code>'''. BTW: you can add/remove manually nodes to groups by rightclicking and selected the appropriate function.[[File:Seamly2D Tutorial 29.png|center|500x500px]]◆
Add some other base points to the '''<code>Curves</code>''' group and modify the linetypes as you see fit to better distinguish the different nodes.[[File:Seamly2D Tutorial 30.png|center|300x300px]][[File:Seamly2D Tutorial 31.png|center|410x410px]]◆
Add some other base points to the '''<code>Curves</code>''' group and modify the linetypes as you see fit to better distinguish the different nodes
◆
We will use different tools to create curves. Frist we will use the tool '''<code>Curve - Fixed</code>'''. Click on the points '''A24''', '''B1''', '''B3''' & '''A11'''. Repeat the tool by clicking '''A25''', '''B2''', '''B4''' & '''A12'''. For cuvers with amore complex shape we can combine more nodes with the '''<code>Spline - Fixed</code>''' tool. Try it by clicking on points '''A26''', '''B5''', '''B6''', '''A28''', '''B7''', '''B9''', '''A31''', '''B10''', '''A19''' & '''A19''' (Yes click twice on A19 to finish the function). Repeat same tool by clicking on points '''A13''', '''B15''', '''B14''', '''A27''', '''B13''', '''B12''' & '''A22'''.
On this page we will create a simple pattern together. We will use the individual functions step by step and thus work through the complete process in Seamly2D.
First we will open SeamlyME and enter the measurements we need. In this tutorial we will use cm as unit and an individual measurement file.
◆
For this pattern we need several measurements:
Waist circumference ⇒ 72 cm
Hip circumference ⇒ 97 cm
Waist to hip (side) ⇒ 21 cm
Crotch length (front) ⇒ 26.5 cm
◆
Insert your own measurements. For this tutorial we will us the measurements as mentioned above. Delete the formula in the croth length (N03) and insert your measurement.
Now you can open Seamly2D and create a new draft block by clicking on the New button. Give the draft block a good name.
◆
The next step will be to open the SeamlyME measurement file you just created. Now you can use those measurements◆
You can modify the name of your starting point to your liking. We will recommend to stick with the default values for the beginning. You can define the coordinates to even number if you wish.◆
We can now start drawing our first nodes. Select the Point - Length and Angle - Tool and click on point A to begin drawing.
Once you hit enter, a window will open where you can modify some properties.
Make sure that the angle is set to 270°
Select the formula tool for the length. We will chose our measurement croth_length_f. If you misspell something or entered a wrong formula, the word error will show up. Amend the formula accordingly
Advice: You can read instructions for each tool in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Important note: Angles are measured anti-clockwise from 0 degrees (= horizontal to the right) to 360 degrees (= horizontal to the right)
◆
Zoom to fit all, so you can see the new node. You can also use the scrollwheel of your mouse◆
We will continue creating 3 new nodes with the Point - Length and Angle - Tool
Point: A ⇒ A2, Length: waist_to_hip_side, Angle 270°
◆
We will finish our pattern grid with a new tool: Point - Intersect XY. Click on point A4 and then on point A2. Repeat the same tool from point A4 to point A3. You now creted points A5 & A6.◆
Now we create different variables we can use later on. Variables are very useful. You can use them as an easily accessible place for things like ease where one can change the values in one place for the whole pattern.
vertical_mark: 8 cm
side_length_mark: 5 cm
side_waist_drop_mark: 6 cm
◆
Go ahead a create two new nodes with the Point - Length and Angle - Tool
Point: A ⇒ A7, Length: waist_circ/4, Angle 0°
Point: A ⇒ A8, Length: #vertical_mark, Angle 270°
◆
We will create new nodes with a new tool. The Point - On Line - Tool. Select the tool and click first on point A7 and then point A5. Choose the variable side_waist_drop_mark as length. Repeat by clicking point A9 and A5. The length for the new point is side_length_mark
Point: A7, A5 ⇒ A9, Length: #side_waist_drop_mark
Point: A9, A5 ⇒ A10, Length: #side_length_mark
◆
We will add some ne variables.
offset_front_to_back: 1.5 cm
gusset_width: 3.5 cm
gusset_width_offest: 0.3 cm
gusset_fold_height: 2.1 cm
gusset_height: 8 cm
gusset_radius: 1 cm
slope_offset: 1 cm
curve_height: 7 cm
◆
Use the new tool Point - On Perpendicular . Click first on point A9 and then point A10. Choose the variable offset_front_to_back as length. Repeat by clicking point A9 and A10. The length for the new point is offset_front_to_back. This time change the rotation angle to 180°. For the next point click first on point A10 and then point A9. Choose the variable offset_front_to_back as length and 180° for the rotation angle.
You can hide all the points we added to the Grid group. So you will see only the new points. Add those to the group Curves. BTW: you can add/remove manually nodes to groups by rightclicking and selected the appropriate function.◆
Add some other base points to the Curves group and modify the linetypes as you see fit to better distinguish the different nodes.◆

We will use different tools to create curves. Frist we will use the tool Curve - Fixed. Click on the points A24, B1, B3 & A11. Repeat the tool by clicking A25, B2, B4 & A12. For cuvers with amore complex shape we can combine more nodes with the Spline - Fixed tool. Try it by clicking on points A26, B5, B6, A28, B7, B9, A31, B10, A19 & A19 (Yes click twice on A19 to finish the function). Repeat same tool by clicking on points A13, B15, B14, A27, B13, B12 & A22.
