There are many functions in the right-click menu inside the Sculpt Tree or Sculpt Mesh.
This option can be activated on Edit > Preferences > Viewport > Enable SculptTree Properties by RMB:<\/strong>
Enable or disable RMB properties window in Sculpt room. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Window may be disabled as well by assigning hotkey in Windows->Popups->Trigger volume properties window.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of them are unique to this menu; most however are not and can be found on Geometry Menu<\/a> at top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RMB on Voxel mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

RMB on Surface mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Much of the power of surface mode is found in the functions contained in the Sculpt Layer, \u201cRight-Click\u201d menu set.
Perform Layer Merging, create Boolean associations, clean up scanned mesh data, make \u201cshell\u201d structures, create radial symmetry arrays, adjust and resample voxel resolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these things and more can be done with this set of functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RMB commands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Reference Colors:<\/strong> Choose the color to highlight the object in the SculptTree.
Those colors are just color tags for objects inside of Sculpt tree panel. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Settings:<\/strong>
– Show Density near the Volume’s Name.
– Show Polycount near the Volume’s Name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Live booleans:<\/strong> At its current stage, it works only with voxel volumes.
Add the child object to any voxel volume, press RMB-> Live Booleans-> assign the operation: difference, intersection, summ.
Press the ghost icon in the Sculpt tree to view the object regardless of the Boolean operation applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complex Booleans operations are supported:<\/strong> you may, for example, subtract Object 1 from Object 2 and then subtract the resulting object from Object 3.
Also any complex combinations supported.
(Collapse the tree to the surface object if needed.) Press the Boolean operation icon to disable it temporarily and make the object visible. Press RMB over that icon to change to operation quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

You may assign a hotkey to change the Boolean operation over the picked object.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

    \n
  • Soft voxel booleans are supported for cut\/split\/clone\/primitives. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Baking supported for Live booleans. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Access to live booleans via the python\/CoreAPI. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Live booleans work correctly during any sculpt changes, just on-the-fly, also the collapsing to regular mesh available via RMB->Collapse boolean tree. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Any complex hierarchical boolean combinations allowed, union support, correct work with instances (instances may not work with LB, but at least instancing stops if booleans are used).
    Correct picking, so retopo is possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Correct painting over boolean volumes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If you ghost the volume that participates in live booleans, it becomes visible (but still cuts the parent). This way you may see and sculpt it (enabling ghost picking & acting). <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Live booleans may be correctly bound to hotkeys. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Merge visible\/Merge subtree work correctly with the Live booleans. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Correct export for 3d printing with live booleans. Merge visible\/subtree to surface\/voxels works correctly as well. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Autoretopology supports Live Booleans, you may do autoretopology and baking without booleans collapsing. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Correct “Retopo via decimation” with Live Booleans. Python API volume->decimated mesh functions extended. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • RMB->Export selected objects supports Live Booleans correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
