  We describe a novel approach for exploring, visualizing and modelling of
complex textile structures. We show this approach in action for the exploration
of weft-knitted spacer fabrics. The modelling tools are readily available and
represent a fast-growing approach in communities of generative design. The
approach helps solving the problem that spacer fabrics are complex structures
which are hard to imagine and to visualize. The explorations turn out
insight-full and flexible and are complementary to what can be done with
existing tools.
