The paper provides recommendations and includes universal criteria on how to choose a computer aided designing system with the goal to perform certain tasks; it is a compact information source for company owners for introducing computer aided designing systems into production. The introduction of the developed suggestions on the human body scanning procedure will improve the precision of the data for the creation of a 3D mannequin. The provided suggestions for the individualisation of the transversal plane configurations of parametric mannequins will allow achieving a better conformity of the virtual mannequin with the human figure. Universal comparative criteria have been defined, qualitative and quantitative informative features; a comparison of the functional characteristics of computer aided garment designing systems has been performed. Limitations have been identified to ensure the credibility of the results of the scanning process. An analysis of the oscillations during a stand has been performed and the frequency has been determined. It has been determined that different textile materials depending on the decoration have a different level of reflection from a diffused one to a mirror like reflection. The coherence between the spatial ease allowance and the values of traditional allowances used in the calculation graphical methods. A possibility of using coordinate measurements of important points of dynamic postures for the determination of spatial allowances has been reflected.
