Using 3dCoat like Fusion360?(need tips)

[Denial]

Hi everyone! I need help ! I'm trying to cut precisely in half a mesh and I need to shell-command for modify it with a variable thickness  --> something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbxm0Pd7pl4

In the end i need to use for more precise model printing use real measures. I don't found a panel where I can set for example lenght and height of a parallelepiped  or something to resize precisely a model previously maked. 

Sorry for silly question but i'm new on 3dcoat :(

Did you tried voxlayer tool?

and

and there is also brush tool for painting over model on new layer, maybe there is more tools what can be useful

Not tried Vox tool . But exist a way for set exact measure of a model in millimeter ? I see only grid and space work but when I create a box I can’t insert Exact measure

Yes to me in 3dcoat scale also a bit confusing. The default grid you need to see border of working space, if you exceed border strange things may happen with model during operations. So always work in that grid. You can set scale in Geometry there is three menu: 
- show statistic
- define measurement units
- edit scene scale
So you can set units and work with voxlayer there will be thickness in mm if you set scene units mm. You can check measure with the measure tool

ok see three options.

For example If i create a box from primitive i can define dimension. But after i create i don't find a way to change by number and not by transform tool . It's right?

Ho can I change measure of a 3d model? I need for example a sculpt that is 15cm taller and 10 wider

Hi

Geometry > Define Scene Scale

Use this dialogue to define measurement units and voxel density per unit. This voxel density is applicable to the initial scene. After increasing resolution, density will double. Also you should be aware that if you import an object into the scene and choose "Keep initial scale" then the scale will be applied additively to the initial scale.

The general meaning of this tool: - you are specifying initial number of voxels per inch(or other) density (and you can change it at any time). - all units in all tools will be changed at this same time: brush radius, all sizes in primitive tools, coordinates hint in bottom right corner. All coordinates and scale that you see in the scene you will see applied in the exported object

 

Adjust > measure tool

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.

 

Hope this help
