In an embodiment, the present invention creates personalized 3D virtual human models of the users, or other persons, and converts the data into 2D design drawings or transfers the data to a
machine capable of building a 3D
physical model, which can then be used for fit and esthetic analysis. A
push and pull technique is used to create a personalized 3D
virtual model from a
library model, which can then be used for an analysis as to how a certain clothing, for example, will look on a particular person. The
push and pull technique may also be used to personalize 2D design templates and / or drawings which may be preloaded into the computer
library or added by the user by drawing them directly on the computer using a CAD
software for example, or added by other ways as for example drawing on paper and scanning the drawing into the computer. In addition, final verifications are achieved by a inputting into a special purpose computer a combination of person's actual measurements, fit tolerance, and / or fit preference. One of the goals of the present invention is to bridge the gap between designers, who may be professionals, or not, and manufacturers. The present invention makes clothing design and / or selection look so realistic that everyone that sees it can easily picture how the clothing will look like on a particular person when it is made. A user can use the teachings of the present invention to design and / or select clothing like, for example, dresses, skirts, shirts, bras, pants, coats, lingerie, T-shirt, sweater, pullover, suit,
