Yeah, it seems that for vertical pleats and collars, it will require some extra editing in a 3d program or something, which I am a complete beginner at, but I guess I will have to mess with it for a while.

Horizontal pleats are doable though, with VF's lack of numeric positioning, they are kinda hard. If there was a way to offset x amount it would be eaiser, but you have to do it by eye.
