Section Assembly (to be released January 2026 - documentation in process)
Quick Summary
The Section Assembly options are located on the Design menu, as shown above. The Section Marker is a drawing tool used to define sections of a draft. Selecting Section Assembly opens a panel that provides controls for grouping and repeating these sections to generate a new weaving draft.
Both warp and weft sections can be marked. Once marked, sections may be grouped and repeated in any order. In addition, groups and individual sections can be copied and nested, allowing for rapid prototyping and easy resizing of drafts.
The Refresh button recalculates finished sizes based on the Ends Per Inch (EPI) and Picks Per Inch (PPI) values defined in Project Information. You can adjust the number of repeats, click Refresh, and immediately see the updated sizing.
When you are ready to generate a draft from the section assembly instructions, click the green checkmark button in any section. TempoWeave will create a new WIF file based on your Section Assembly selections. You may close the generated WIF to make further adjustments and regenerate it, or save it if the result meets your needs.
When working with Section Assembly, it is recommended that you save both the file containing the marked sections and the generated WIF. It is common practice to keep multiple versions of Section Assembly drafts (those with section markers and grouping instructions) so you can easily reproduce a generated draft or make future modifications.
The following documents explain how to use Section Assembly in more detail.
