Documented through Build 443 · Updated October 30, 2026

Decoration types

The official description names buttons, bows, applique, lace trims and other accessories. Placement is part of the creative sandbox, but a decoration can also carry visible style information for a client brief.

Version notes

Build 403 corrected some lace-trim items that were not tagged as lace. Build 410 added thread-colour selection by clicking the spools in the sewing scene.

Recording a result

Record the displayed item name, category, colour, build and placement. Do not infer a hidden numerical score from the visual label alone.

Build 443 trim and accessory editing

The update adds Fast Trim Placement, end-node selection and extension, and a trim duplicate button that preserves height, size and tilt. The accessory gizmo gains movement controls. Follow the trim workflow and accessory adjustment guide for steps and version differences.
