Project 01: Modaris & Diamino
LECTURE [01/09]
In today's class, Mr Riza introduced us to Modaris. He taught us about the controls and how to save our work in Modaris. He mentioned about access path, which is essential because we have to locate our files somewhere, and if we do not set the access path our work will disappear. We had to make the basic bodice block using Modaris to construct it.
PROCESS
Mr Riza, gave us the size chart that had all the measurements from neck to toe. To begin, we constructed the bodice block first, front and back.
 |
| Bodice Block |
Mr Riza, taught us a few controls in Modaris to begin our bodice pattern block. The controls we learned about were 'Straight', 'Arc Arrow', 'Relative point' (adding points), and 'Parallel' (copying lines).
 |
| Bodice |
After completing the bodice block, we moved on to the sleeve. We learned a new control called 'Stretch' which keeps the line measurement the same while it is slanted as well as the 'Division' which is to divide sections in a line.
 |
| Sleeve |
 |
| Collar |
After completing, both the sleeve and collar, we can no add the seam allowance. We used a tool called 'Seam' which is to select the pattern pieces that we drafted (working pattern). And 'Line Seam' is to make the seam alowances.

| Bodice |
 |
| Sleeve |
To make the fold label into a whole is using 'Sym2pts'.

| Cuff |

| Back Bodice & Sleeve |

| Collar Stand |

| Collar flap |
Another function we learned was 'Marry', 'Rotate Marriages' and 'Divorce'. Since the yoke pattern for front and back have to be combine as one, this tool aids in doing so. 'Marry' is to join the points together. 'Rotate Marriages' is to rotate the piece so that it matches the other. 'Divorce' is to separate the pieces.
This is an additional task but it is part of our asignment which is to make a pattern grading for the bodice and sleeve. To begin, 'Control' by clicking on a point using this tool a chart comes up. (Focus on ddx and ddy-axis). We had to do pattern grading for size 8-16. To see grading click on 'Nest'.
To focus on a set of grading, select the sizes and click enter on the keyboard. To copy point to another 'Equate' (click on point to the other to copy). We had to do the pattern grading for sleeve, front and back bodice.
After the pattern grading, we are suppose to make a spreadsheet of all the sizes shown. By going to 'Chart Manager' and creating a new folder called 'Shirt'. Once you've measure the length using 'Length Measurement' it will appear on the chart. And you can change the name in the chart like shoulder, armhole and etc.
To add the measurement together like for the armhole, click on one of the armhole measurement then 'Insert Measurement' and click on the plus symbol then click on the other armhole measurement then 'Insert Measurement' and lastly click 'Create' to add the two measurements together.
We have to make the measurements for sleeve length, sleeve armhole, bodice length, shoulder length, hip width, neckline, armhole length on bodice.
Next is to make 'Variant'. This stage is necessary as you'll need to transfer your pattern panels to the digital printer.
We used a software called Marker Manager, where you'll set the constraints, fabric width and make the PLX file. In this software we have to import the variant and later generate the pattern which will take us to Marker Maker.
Constraints:
90- pattern pieces can turn 360 degrees.
180- pattern pieces can only flip horizontally.
0- pattern pieces can't turn it flip.
In Marker Maker, we are able to rearrange our pattern pieces on the fabric digitally.
Tools in Marker Maker:
This is the magic wand tool where it helps to lay your pattern out for you.
This is the undo tool, which means if you make a mistake on arrranging the pattern pieces, you can always undo all of it.
Extra tools like 5 and 7 on the number code. 5 is to rotate the pattern pieces, 7 is to undo the pattern by clicking on it.
Before printing, we have to import the pattern pieces that we arrange in Marker Maker, to the digital printer using JustPrint. In JustPrint, we have to upload our PLX file and click 'Plot' to import the file to the priinter.
An additional step, Mr Riza taught us on how to put the pattern panels in a PDF file too. To print the actual size of the pattern pieces is using the HP-Generator whilst to import as a PDF, we need to use Mini Maker.
