Change structural parts

Add or remove structural elements like zippers, collars, or pockets on specific parts of your designs

Introduction

In fashion design, making structural changes like adding or removing elements such as collars, zippers, or pockets can be a tedious and time-consuming task. Traditionally, this process involves hours of manual work in design software, limiting creative exploration and slowing down production cycles. With Fermat, designers can now modify structural elements effortlessly. Whether you need to add a turtleneck to a sweater or remove pockets from a biker jacket, Fermat lets you make these adjustments, removing the need for complex Photoshop edits. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to make structural modifications instantly using Fermat 'Magic brush' & 'Magic eraser' tools.
