Pic. 2: Measurement charts
GRAFIS works with the construction principle as a standard procedure. Body measurement charts are used to draft basic blocks which are then, modified into styles and production patterns. These measurement charts can represent standard sizes and / or individual sizes. The structure of the measurment charts depends on the measurement system. In addition to the existing measurement systems, company-specific measurement systems can be incorporated. The interactive basic blocks delivered with the Grafis software relate to the measurement charts. The production patterns are developed for one measurement chart while GRAFIS records the individual construction steps. Then, the patterns can be generated for the size range required (off-the-peg) or for individual measurement charts (made-to-measure).

The large number of interactive basic blocks delivered with GRAFIS such as bodice, trousers, skirt, sleeve, collar, pockets and others contain drafting instructions which are recalculated with the selected measurement charts. These interactive basic blocks can easily be altered through click and drag or numerical entry offering a wealth of options for fit optimisation and style modification.
