Details

1) How To

To use this feature, you must first setup CLO-SET Library in CLO 3D. Find instructions HERE.

  • First, download a file from your CLO-SET Library in CLO. When setting up the Link between Contents, this original file will work as the 'Parent Content'

  • Make design edits in CLO3D (ex. create a new Colorway or change fabric/material used)

  • Once the design edit is complete, upload it as a new Content with 'Upload to CLO-SET' option. You can also select Render/Tech Pack via CLO-SET.
    • Please note that 'Linked Contents' feature is not compatible when uploading a new Version.

  • Turn on the 'Linked Content' option to create the Parent-Child relationship.
    1. Select the Group to upload the new Content. Please note that Contents in different Groups can not be 'Linked' as a Parent-Child.
    2. Turn on 'Linked Content' button.
    3. Select the Workroom to upload the new Content. Selecting an existing Content is disabled when the 'Linked Content' option is on. 

  • Once uploaded, you can click on 'Linked Contents' to view the Parent/Child Contents.

2) Requirements

1. Rules for identifying 'Original Content'

  • The 'Original Content' is always the first file you open in CLO3D.
    • If you used multiple files from CLO-SET Library to create the new Content, only the very first file added would be linked as the Original Content.
    • If you started with a non-CLO-SET file and added files from CLO-SET library, the latter would not be linked as the Original Content.

2. Rules for Parent-Child relationship

  • Both of the Parent & Child Contents MUST be in the same CLO-SET Group to utilize the 'Linked Content' feature.
