Left tool panel

The left side panel in 3DCoat is the Left Tool Panel, which houses all the tool and brush selections related to your currently active workspace room (such as Sculpt, Paint, or Retopo).
This panel shows the main tool items corresponding for every active room, describes tool properties and how to use them.

Key Features & Usage

• Alternative Navigation: Many users who hide the panel rely instead on the pop-up space menu or configure custom presets on the right side.
• Context-Sensitive Tools: The icons and options change depending on which room or mode you are currently using.
• Quick Access via Spacebar: You can bring up the Voxel/Tool panel menu directly around your cursor at any time by pressing the Spacebar.
• Hiding the Panel: If you want a cleaner workspace or more viewport real estate, you can hide the panel by going to Edit > Preferences and toggling Hide Left Tool Panel (remember to click OK to apply changes).
