Patent ID: 8116896

Claim:
A method for creating panels for a garment using a textile coordinate system in a digital clothing comprising steps of: defining a horizontal axis on a pattern-making window; defining a vertical axis on the pattern-making window; defining an outward side on the pattern-making window toward an observer in front of the pattern-making window; forming the textile coordinate system defined by the horizontal axis and the vertical axis on the outward side of the pattern-making window; providing a first panel comprising a plurality of panel points and lines on a panel layer defined on the textile coordinate system, wherein the plurality of panel points and lines form a closed boundary; providing a plurality of first pattern-making layers associated with the first panel, each of which comprising a plurality of pattern-making points and lines, wherein the plurality of pattern-making points and lines form a pattern; visualizing the first panel and at least one of the plurality of first pattern-making layers on the pattern making window, wherein the first panel is drawn on top of the first pattern-making layers; storing the first panel having the plurality of panel points and lines in a panel computer file and the plurality of first pattern-making points and lines in a pattern-making computer file, turning on or off each of the plurality of pattern-making layers on the pattern-making window; dimming each of the plurality of pattern-making layers on the pattern-making window; and darkening each of the plurality of pattern-making layers on the pattern-making window.
