Use
The developer explains that each character is measured and that the mannequin is adjusted to fit those measurements. Pattern pieces are then drafted for that person. This makes fit a construction input, not a cosmetic setting.
Repeat clients
Before reusing a design for a repeat client, compare the recorded measurements with the mannequin. This is a troubleshooting recommendation, not a measured quality formula; preserve the build and observed result in your notes.
Related mechanics
Measurements feed the pattern system; grain placement and sewing are separate checks. See the quality guide for a staged diagnosis.
Build 443 sizing controls
The sizing-room mannequin gears can be adjusted with the mouse wheel or arrow keys. The update also fixes a measuring-scene animation bug at low frame rates. Read the current values after adjusting a gear; changing camera position is not the same as changing a measurement.
