Description
Combine zipper teeth and stop allowances into a recorded overall length.
Garment geometry distinguishes body and finished dimensions, elastic rest length, seamline/cutline offsets, motif phases and joining losses. A nominal coordinate or length budget does not establish material behavior or a suitable fit. Direction, angle units and the number of gaps rather than objects affect the result.
Combine zipper teeth and stop allowances into a recorded overall length.
When to use this tool
Use Zipper Teeth Stop Length Crosswalk when checking the stated garment length, allowance, repeat or material-record convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter teethLength, topStopAllowance, bottomStopAllowance. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read overallRecordedLength. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative teeth length and top/bottom stop allowances. Return their sum as overallRecordedLength.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| teethLength | Teeth Length | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| topStopAllowance | Top Stop Allowance | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| bottomStopAllowance | Bottom Stop Allowance | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| overallRecordedLength | Overall Recorded Length | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- This is a supplied zipper-length convention; no product specification, installation, garment fit or manufacturing tolerance is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use measured pattern/material properties, fitting evidence and appropriate complete production methods for actual garment fit and construction.
