Scaling, parametric design or grading?
Three different tasks behind a size change.
Scaling changes dimensions by a factor. Parametric design changes named dimensions and defined dependencies. Professional grading follows sizing rules; simple scaling or an arbitrary dimensional change does not replace it.

- 02Dimensional relationship
- 03Sizing rule
Common mistake
Scaling every piece equally and assuming allowances, joins and fit are still correct.
What to check next
- Name variable dimensions and values that must remain unchanged.
- Check seam lengths and allowances on small and large variants.
- Use suitable grading rules and a fitting sample for apparel.
