To change how a weave is displayed
1 Choose Window menu > Library Palettes > Show Weaves to display the Weaves
palette.
2 Click the Two-Dimensional Weave or the Three-Dimensional Weave button.
The Weave Preview Window changes to show either a two-dimensional (Blocks) or
three-dimensional (Fibers) weave.
Depending on which weave is selected, you may or may not see a change in
the Weave Preview Window. For different two- and three-dimensional effects,
you can adjust the scaling and thickness sliders at the bottom of the Weaves
palette.
Editing Weave Colors
Each weave uses its own color set. You can display the color set used for a weave,
change the colors in the set, and apply the changed colors to the weave. Remember
that you can open several palettes and rearrange them to make it easier to see the
controls you need. For more information about color sets, see “Using Color Sets” on
page 92.
