Check a costume in motion, then save it to a build

Standing still is the easy part. Poses show what stops you sitting down or raising a sword, before the foam is cut.

Before you start

Pose it

1. Pick a pose

   Under Move (or the pose menu on the toolbar): Standing, Arms up, Arms forward, Seated or Crouching.

2. Read what's in the way

   Each piece rides its limb. Nothing gets in the way in this pose. — or an In the way line such as Seated: … runs … into …, sometimes with how much would have to come off one end.

3. Fix it

   The fix it card works in the pose too. In a pose, move pieces by typing their numbers; dragging works only standing.

Sweep each joint

1. Check each joint

   Under Range of motion, press Check each joint. It raises your arms forward and to the side, bends the elbows, lifts the legs and bends the knees, one at a time.

2. Read the result

   Each reads …: the full …°. or …: stops by …° of …° — … meets ….

Save it to a build

1. Name it

   In the Costume card, type a Name.

2. Choose the build

   Under For build, pick it (arriving from a build picks it for you).

3. Save

   Press Save as new the first time, Save after.

If something's off

I can't drag a piece

You're in a pose. Go back to Standing, or type its numbers.

Choosing New costume… kept my pieces

It only stops editing the open costume; the pieces stay, and Save as new saves them as a copy.

“The measurements this costume was checked against have been deleted…”

That profile is gone, so it's shown on the body selected now. Pick another under Fit to measurements and save.
