Undo:<\/strong> hotkey Ctrl+Z
Redo:<\/strong> hotkey Ctrl+Y<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transform without Gizmo:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

These menu items are intended for assigning hotkeys to transform objects without the gizmo.
1) Press END<\/em> over the required menu item, and assign the hotkey.
2) Press that hotkey and transform the object.
3) Press SPACE to enter numerical values (if this is a one-dimensional transform).
4) Press SHIFT, CTRL or CTRL+SHIFT<\/em> for the discrete transform.
5) Press ESC<\/em> or RMB<\/em> to cancel the transform.
6) Press LMB<\/em> to complete the transform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you transform the objects using this method, overview of the editing menu in which you will learn about the main editing functions and setting up the scene, you may use hotkeys (regardless of how they are assigned in 3D-Coat)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

W<\/em> – Activate free translation.
E<\/em> – Activate free rotation.
R<\/em> – Activate free scaling.
X, Y (or C), Z<\/em> – Act along the axis for the translation, rotation or scaling, in dependence on the current mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– If you are in the translation mode:
X, then Y<\/em> or SHIFT Z<\/em>, or ZZ<\/em> – move an object in plane XY.
Y, then Z or SHIFT X, or XX – move an object in plane YZ.
Z, then X or SHIFT Y, or YY – move an object in plane ZX.
F – Pick new pivot of the transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scale Master<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

The scale master allows you to change the visual or physical scale of the scene.
If the model is too big or too small in the viewport, you may use the first option below. <\/p>\n\n\n

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

If you want to change the exported size, use the second option.<\/p>\n\n\n

Calculate Occlusion<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Calculate Occlusion baker<\/strong><\/a> runs a routine that calculates \u201cAmbient Occlusion\u201d (global illumination) based on tracing a number of light rays surrounding an object. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calculate Curvature<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Calculate Curvature:<\/strong> <\/a>The curvature layer is required to use cavity\/curvature as a condition for materials or conditional painting. The command will update the cavity\/curvature layer using the current displacement and normal map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light Baking Tool<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Light Baking Tool:<\/a> <\/strong>Sometimes you need to bake all lighting into the diffuse color of the texture.
Open shader ball for example, fill layer with any reflective Smart Material, bake your reflection and it creates reflection layer  in texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Sync layer with the external editor:<\/a><\/strong> This command allows you to synchronize the current layer with an external editor. You can set the path to the editor in Preferences. (The default is Adobe Photoshop.) The alpha channel will contain the transparency mask.
When you call on this command, the program Adobe Photoshop will open automatically with your file. Then you can change it and jump back to 3DCoat by pressing CTRL+S.
