Pose

Pose object using partial object selection

toolset: tools_tem("[VOX_SCULPT_TOOL]SCULPT_TRANSPOSE);
script: cmd("$SCULPT_TRANSPOSE);

Move

Move a surface area. Press and drag LMB to move the surface within the cursor, relative to the screen view. Use CTRL to move surface along the normal. Different Alphas give different results

toolset: tools_tem("[VOX_SCULPT_TOOL]SCULP_MOVE);
script: cmd("$SCULP_MOVE);

Transform

Transform object as a entire. Click on object to transform

toolset: tools_tem("[VOX_SCULPT_TOOL]SCULPT_TRANSFORM);
script: cmd("$SCULPT_TRANSFORM);

Primitives
Tool options...

Drag mouse inside the circle to move object in screen space. Hold keys 'X', 'Y', 'Z' to constraint motion. Move direction arrows and gears with SHIFT, CTRL, SHIFT+CTRL for discrete motion and rotation

toolset: tools_tem("[extension]SCULP_PRIM);
script: cmd("$SCULP_PRIM);

Import

Import an object into the scene. Press ENTER to apply the selected object. The object should be closed without self-intersections. Use the brush/move/rotate/scale modes to place the object

toolset: tools_tem("[VOX_SCULPT_TOOL]SCULP_MERGE);
script: cmd("$SCULP_MERGE);

Curves
Tool options...

Draw with curves (splines). Add points with LMB, resize with RMB, and delete the last point with BKSP. Press ENTER to draw the curve, then ESC to delete the curve. CTRL+LMB on a ball will join points

toolset: tools_tem("[extension]SCULP_CURVES);
script: cmd("$SCULP_CURVES);

Text
Tool options...

Draw text in volume

toolset: tools_tem("[extension]SCULP_TEXT);
script: cmd("$SCULP_TEXT);

Logo

Use this tool to convert any anti-aliased black and white picture to 3D object

toolset: tools_tem("[VOX_SCULPT_TOOL]SCULPT_LOGO);
script: cmd("$SCULPT_LOGO);

Snake

Draw a 'snake'. Use LMB to draw with this tool. The snake will tend to connect with adjacent surfaces if possible. Holding LMB down at the end of the stroke smooths the spline until released. Adjust smoothing speed with the slider. Choose the shape of the snake from the available tube profiles

toolset: tools_tem("{Snake}[extension]SCULP_SPSTROKE);
script: cmd("$SCULP_SPSTROKE);

Spikes

Draw spikes. Use LMB to draw with this tool. The spike will remain independent of adjacent surfaces, and the leading end will taper to a point. Holding LMB down at the end of the stroke smooths the spline until released. Adjust smoothing speed with the slider. Choose the shape of the spike from the available tube profiles

toolset: tools_tem("{Snake}[extension]SCULP_FREESP);
script: cmd("$SCULP_FREESP);

Cut Off
Tool options...

Cut Off

toolset: tools_tem("[extension]CutOff);
script: cmd("$CutOff);

Measure
Tool options...

Click to add points. Use SHIFT to align lines horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Press ESC to stop measure guide creation. New click will start new guide. Click on lines and points to split lines or drag points. Measure guides may be used in other tools as visual markers or snapping guides.
Doubleclick to erase point. Move nearby points together to erase captured point. Use CTRL to avoid snapping to existing points or lines, for example when you need to start new line from existing point or line.

toolset: tools_tem("[extension]Measure);
script: cmd("$Measure);

Noise

toolset: tools_tem("[extension]Noise);
script: cmd("$Noise);

Axial
Tool options...

Create a Radial Array. Any Voxel Layer can be duplicated and rotated in number and angle from a central axis

toolset: tools_tem("[extension]SCULPT_AXIAL);
script: cmd("$SCULPT_AXIAL);

Res+

Increase resolution of the current object

toolset: tools_tem("[VOX_SCULPT_TOOL]IncRes);
script: cmd("$IncRes);

Resample

Change resolution of the object

toolset: tools_tem("[VOX_SCULPT_TOOL]Resample);
script: cmd("$Resample);

Clear

Clear current object

toolset: tools_tem("[VOX_SCULPT_TOOL]Clear);
script: cmd("$Clear);

Coat
Tool options...

This tool allows to add coating over the layer in non-destructive way. It is similar to VoxLayer, but you may defune area using curves and change corner points later.

toolset: tools_tem("[extension]CurvesLayer);
script: cmd("$CurvesLayer);

Tube/Array
Tool options...

Tube/Array

toolset: tools_tem("[extension]TubeOnCurve);
script: cmd("$TubeOnCurve);

Bend Volume
Tool options...

Bend the object around the curve.

toolset: tools_tem("[extension]BendVolume);
script: cmd("$BendVolume);

Swep along Guide
Tool options...

The swept surface will be generated by moving profile along selected curve-guide. After appear Tool Options dialog You need select profile-curve. The new item in VoxTree will be created and the mesh will be placed there. Select the corresponding object in VoxTree to be able to change parameters like thickness, angle, twist-angle, etc. Delete the corresponding VoxTree element to stop filling the curve.
