3DCoat 2021 Documentation

Name	Description	HotKey
Geometry -> Show Statistics	Show scene statistics - volume, square, dimensions, holes count
Geometry -> Define Measurement Units	Define measurement units. You will be able to define voxel density in real physical units
Geometry -> Edit Scene Scale	Edit scene scale that was defined when you imported the mesh in Sculpt room and pressed \"Yes\"
Geometry -> Res+	Increase resolution of the current object
Geometry -> Resample	Change resolution of the object
Geometry -> Screen Space Subdivide	Subdivides the surface visible on the screen so that the triangles are approximately the specified pixel size in screen space
Geometry -> Symm Copy	Symmetrical copy. Symmetry must be active for this function to work. This tool uses the most recently painted side of the object as a source and copies the source features to the other side
Geometry -> Retopo mesh -> Sculpt mesh	Get Objects From Retopo Workspace
Geometry -> Shell
Geometry -> Clean Surface	(Surface mode only) Make surface cleaner - remove stretched triangles and star-like vertices whenever possible
Geometry -> Close Holes	(Surface mode only) Close holes in mesh
Geometry -> Weld Vertices	(Ex LegacyFix command) Weld vertices that have same coordinate
Geometry -> Decimate
Geometry -> Cleanup Memory	(Surface mode only) Improves memory and mesh structure to speed up sculpting. No visual changes will occur
Geometry -> Remove Self Intersections	Subtract current volume from the destination but leave both volumes. In so way intersecting part will be removed from the destination object. Use CTRL+ALT+LMB drag & drop in VoxTree
Geometry -> Object-ify (separate)	Creates an object in the VoxTree for each separated piece of geometry, and places the geometry into those objects
Geometry -> Clear	Clear the scene and merge objects together
Geometry -> Smooth All	Smooth the entire object. Each click of this option further smooths the entire object at once
Geometry -> Unhide All	Unhide all hidden faces
Geometry -> Invert Hidden	Invert hidden faces. This command does not use the Undo queue so changes are immediate
Geometry -> Delete Hidden	Delete hidden part of current volume
Geometry -> Object-ify Hidden	Creates a new Sculpt Object from hidden volumes

Visibility/Ghosting

Geometry -> Visibility/Ghosting -> Isolate	Isolate the current layer. The same can be achieved by using ALT+LMB on the layer you wish to isolate in the VoxTree
Geometry -> Visibility/Ghosting -> Toggle Visibility	Toggle current volume visibility	Shift+V
Geometry -> Visibility/Ghosting -> Isolate Ghosting	Isolate Ghosting	Shift+G
Geometry -> Visibility/Ghosting -> Toggle Ghosting	Toggle Ghosting	G

Caching

Geometry -> Caching -> Toggle Proxy Mode	Toggle between proxy mode and high poly mode. You may modify mesh in proxy mode and then apply all changes to the high poly mesh
Geometry -> Caching -> Uncache Visible Objects	Restore all visible downgraded volumes for further editing. All changes of proxy meshes will be applied to the high poly mesh
Geometry -> Caching -> Cache Visible Objects	Objects will be stored to disk and replaced by a low-poly proxy meshes. High poly meshes will not be kept in memory. You may modify the proxy and then return high poly meshes. All proxy modifications will be applied to the high poly mesh. This increases modeling speed and decreases memory load by means of saving the object to disk and replacing it with a simplified proxy
Geometry -> Caching -> Clear All Caches	Clear all cache files to save disk space

Proxy Method

Geometry -> Proxy Method -> Reduce 2X	Reduce linear voxels density 2X. This will reduce memory usage approximately 5 times. Pay attention, this method is not good for thin surfaces!
Geometry -> Proxy Method -> Reduce 4X	Reduce linear density 4X. This will reduce memory usage approximately 20 times. Pay attention, this method is not good for thin surfaces!
Geometry -> Proxy Method -> Reduce 8X	Reduce linear density 8X. This will reduce memory usage approximately 100 times. Pay attention, this method is not good for thin surfaces!
Geometry -> Proxy Method -> Decimate 2X	Reduce polycount 2 times. Decimation as caching method is slower but works well for thin and narrow surfaces
Geometry -> Proxy Method -> Decimate 4X	Reduce polycount 4 times. Decimation as caching method is slower but works well for thin and narrow surfaces
Geometry -> Proxy Method -> Decimate 8X	Reduce polycount 8 times. Decimation as caching method is slower but works well for thin and narrow surfaces
Geometry -> Proxy Method -> Decimate 16X	Reduce polycount 16 times. Decimation as caching method is slower but works well for thin and narrow surfaces

Highlight

Geometry -> Highlight -> Highlight	Highlight current selected object
Geometry -> Highlight -> Highlight settings	Highlight settings
Geometry -> Highlight -> Highlight selected	Highlight selected	F11

Geometry -> Use CUDA	Use CUDA technology to improve performance
Geometry -> Cuda Smooth Boost	Increase smooth power 3X using CUDA technology
Geometry -> Cast Shadows	Cast shadows. This option casts more accurate shadows, but may affect system performance
Geometry -> Incremental Render	The incremental renderer only renders the parts of an object which have changed, providing a large performance boost. Enabling shadows will disable this mode, however
Geometry -> Accurate Smoothing	Accurate smoothing. This option provides more accurate smoothing at the cost of speed
Geometry -> Stroke Expansion	With this option enabled, relevant operations are not performed unless the brush is actually moving. This option works only for voxel brushes.
