When making strappy heels in studio, it is important to add the back of the heel for a realistic look. 

Once the front of the shoe is completed, select the layer titled “Right back”.

Note: hide the studio model to see the back of the shoes. Click the eye icon next to the Model layer to hide the body.


– Navigate to the details tab on the upper left side -> select “details” under the first tab option.

– Select the dotted box detail

– Once placed, move the added detail to the area of the “shoe” that requires backing. 

– While still under the “Square #” layer, navigate to the “line” tool under the third tab.

– From here, create a new line. Place your line behind the area required, You can create a bit of an arch for visual purposes.

– Adjust the sizing to match the front of the show. Change the color of the line placed – I find making it a shade or two darker looks best, but it’s up to you.

Voila! Unhide the model to ensure lines are not shown from the front. If all is well, send to game and post.
