I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out to add pleats to a skirt macro. Is there a video on this anywhere?

What difficulties do you have?
You let the macro run take p. ex. a straight skirt. (I would do the s.a. later)
You want to add 4 pleats to the front.
You add points at the waist seam where you want the pleats to sit.
You take the pleats tool. It asks you on what object you want the pleat. You click the front skirt.
You go to your first added point - click - and then change to Ortho and draw the mouse to the hem, click. You are now asked about the pleat depth (maybe 3 cm). And how to fold. You click the panel with the side seam. The first pleat is added. The program has put 6 cm in. Now you add the second pleat in the same way.
let me know if it works for you
