Creating a Standing Collar

You can create a standing up collar (otherwise known as collar stand, collar base, etc.) when you need to create a collar for example for men's dress shirts.

You can create a standing collar with our without symmetry. We will demonstrate how to create both in the process below.

To create a standing up collar in 3D:

  1. Create a piece. In this example we will create a trapezoid to represent the collar shape.

Note: The collar must be facing down:

  1. Flip the shape. Select Flip Vertically:

  1. Open up the 3D Properties dialog and from the Location drop-down list, select CollarStand.

The piece is automatically placed on the neck of the model in the 3D window and you will see that the collar stands up.

You must have a pair in order to define symmetry

  1. Use the Set Half tool,  to prepare your collar for symmetry.

  2. Now let's add two buttons.

  1. Use the Stitch tool and add a stitch on the buttons.

Note: Only one stitch is needed.

  1. Define the stitch as symmetric (select the Symmetric checkbox):

  1. In the 3D Properties checkbox, change the Location to Collar Folded.

  2. From the Symmetry drop-down list select either Above or Below.

  3. Click to simulate your collar.

Here is an example of a Collar with Above symmetry:

If you want to create an overlap change the Cylinder (Shape) percentage to higher than 100% as follows:

Here is the collar at an 80% percentage:

Here is the collar at a 102% percentage:

  1. When you are done, click Simulate to see your finished product.
