Covers

A skirt or a coat moves with the fig, and the body under it can poke through in a bend or a run. Covers stops the body’s faces under the piece from drawing.

Turn it on

Covers is a switch with Off and On, in three places:

• Animate › Rig › Covers: one switch for every clothing part, with a line per part. See Rig .
• The part’s card, under Clothes.
• Details, on the part’s page, beside Open the closet. See The Closet .

Tap On. The hint reads Body under Skirt: not drawn. Off reads Body under Skirt: drawn. The switch shows with or without Clothes on: On marks the part as clothes too, in one Undo step. A new part starts on Off.

The drawing

• The app finds the covered faces from the piece’s own shape. The fig’s faces, points and colors never change, and the fig’s file gains one switch.
• Body means the parts not marked as clothes. A coat does not hide a shirt under it, and a part that rides on the cover stays drawn.
• A part set as the Body on Rig can cover too. Its hint reads Parts under Coat: not drawn: the part stays the Body, and the faces of the parts under it stop drawing. An older Ünflat reads that switch as off.
• A thigh near the hem stays drawn, and so do the faces inside the skirt that face down, so a view up the skirt shows no holes.
• A face half under the piece draws as a grid without its covered cells, and its paint stays in place. A rounded fig draws its half-covered faces whole.
• The body comes back as soon as you hide the piece, the fig wears an outfit without it or Nothing, Clothes goes off, or Covers goes off.
• A single part shown on its own, in a Lineup cell for example, shows all its faces.

Covers draws the same way in the fig editor, in scenes, the Camera, clips, Designs, the Toy shelf and the thumbnails. The frame time does not change.

In files

The fig’s own exports draw every face: glTF, USDZ, STL and Roblox. A scene’s .glb follows the scene’s drawing, so the covered faces leave that file. Older versions of Ünflat open the fig with the body whole, and the switch survives a save there.

Limits

• A leg swung out below the hem can pass in front of the skirt and still draws.
• Hands inside a flared skirt lose their covered faces at rest, so an arm that lifts can show a hole. Turn Covers off on that piece.
