- [Instructor] Once you have your primaries and secondaries
all trimmed up and ready to be put together
you're going to use a tool called sew.
With sew, you want to be careful with the first
surface you select.
In this case, if I pick let's say this tertiary surface
and then I can do a trap for the rest of these.
What's going to happen is the color of the final surface
is going to take on the properties of that initial surface,
that tertiary surface.
So everything has turned this gray.
I'm going to come in.
I'm going to hold the shift key down under the tool,
deselect that, go up to target, deselect that,
pick this as my target, and then come back down to tool
and pick the tertiary.
Let me show my result.
Now, you can see it's assumed the properties of the target.
So the first element you pick as the target
is going to impart its properties onto all of the surfaces
that you are joining together.
So make sure that when you pick your surface
you're picking the surface or a surface in this case,
a primary or something that makes sense.
So if you have a primary surface, maybe it's the first
driving surface that you trim back.
For practice purposes, what I like to do
I like to pick that surface first.
I usually have all the properties on it that I want
and then it imparts all that on the rest
of the final sewn element.
