Controls the amount of ease at the knee

  • Type: Percentage

  • options:
    • both
    • backOnly

  • Default: 0°
  • Minimum: -20°

Increasing this option will raise the back of the pants and lower the waistband in the front. This is ideal for those with a curvy body who want the waistband to sit below the belly in the front, but above the butt in the back.

If you’re setting the waistband angle to a larger value, it’s also a good idea to increase the waist height to make sure you’ve got enough coverage in the front.

Waist height​

Controls the height of the waist, 100% = waist height, 0% = hip height

  • Type: Percentage
  • Default: 50%
  • Minimum: 0%
