Tool Details palette

Updated: 08/17/2023

The Tool Details palette displays detailed items for each selected tool and allows various settings.

Brush Selection tool

Item	Details
Weight	The larger the ratio, the darker the [Weight color] (red by default), and the more likely it is to be pulled when moving with the [Arrow tool]. You can also adjust this with the Pressure on the Pen tab. Default: 11%
Brush size	You can change the brush size. You can also change it using [B] + drag.
Weight color	You can change the color of the selection state. Default: #80FF0000

Number	Item	Details
(1)	Select/Edit	Select or move mesh vertices.
(2)	Lasso	Select multiple mesh vertices using a lasso.
(3)	Eraser	Delete mesh vertices and edges (lines) while dragging. You can change the range using [B] + dragging.
(4)	Add more vertices	Increase the number of vertices as if tracing with a brush.
(5)	Automatic Mesh generator	Opens the automatic mesh generator dialog box.
(6)	Auto connect	Automatically connects vertices to vertices. Two options are available from the buttons on the right.
(7)	Select an auto connection method	Mesh reconstruction: If enabled, it redraws the mesh line considering only the vertices. If you want to keep the lines you have constructed, disable it. Protect Edge exterior: If enabled, it will automatically generate while keeping the outer perimeter. This is effective when used with irregularly-shaped textures (eyelashes, hair, etc.) because it prevents excess lines from being tied together. To perform auto generation with [Protect Edge exterior] enabled, all the perimeters of the vertices must be connected beforehand.
(8)	Mesh 4 Division	The mesh is divided into four parts while maintaining its shape.
(9)	Binding of glue	Binds (adsorbs) the “glue.”
(10)	Unbinding of glue	Unbind (un-adsorb) the “glue.”
(11)	Selection range on click	If a vertex is difficult to select, increase the numerical value to make it easier to select.

Number	Item	Details
(12)	Add Vertex	Add mesh vertices.
(13)	Delete Vertex/Edges (line)	Delete mesh vertices and edges (lines).
(14)	Mirror Edit Settings	Mirror Edit: If checked, mirror edit is available. Axis: [Vertical] or [Horizontal] displays the axis on which the editing will be based. Axis position: Adjusts the position in pixels where the axis is displayed. By clicking the button on the right, you can choose whether the axis should appear in the [Center of the Canvas] or in the [Center of Selected Vertices].

Number	Item	Details
(15)	Stroke mesh-mapping (beta)	A mesh is generated based on the path created by dragging.
(16)	Mesh-mapping settings	Mesh width: The overall width of the mesh can be adjusted around the stroke. Repeated density: The spacing between mesh-mappings can be adjusted. The value is the distance between intervals, so the smaller the value, the narrower the interval, and the larger the value, the wider the interval. Number of vertices in mesh width: You can choose from three different mesh split methods. Invert mesh: Reverses the direction of the first and last mesh edges when the number of vertices in the mesh width is 2. Maintain current mesh: When unchecked, the overlapping edges and vertices are deleted. Also, when checked, it is not deleted but maintained.

See “Mesh Editing” for more information.

Number	Item	Details
(1)	Add control point	Add a control point.
(2)	Delete control point	Delete a control point.
(3)	Delete path	Delete only the path, leaving the control points in place.
(4)	Fold line	The clicked control point area is made into a fold line.
(5)	Delete deform paths at the current Level edit	Delete all deform paths corresponding to the currently selected drawable object at the current Level edit.

See “Deform Paths” for more information.

Number	Item	Details
(1)	Glue Weight A:B	Drag and adjust the weight ratio of the two vertices. When merging, the ratio is 50% each, but the ratio is adjusted to determine which side the weight should be placed on to a total of 100%.
(2)	Glue Weight A	Adjust only the weight ratio of the vertices of the ArtMesh that are colored red.
(3)	Glue Weight B	Adjust only the weight ratio of the vertices of the ArtMesh that are colored green.
(4)	Re-merge Glue Vertices Tool	Recombine the two vertices that have been separated by the adjustments in (2) and (3) by dragging them together.
	Weight	The higher the %, the faster the adjustment speed. For fine adjustment, lower the % for slower adjustment. You can also adjust this with the Pressure on the Pen tab.
	Range	By changing the brush size, you can change the area of influence during adjustment.
	Opacity of weight	Set the opacity of the weighted color portion that visually represents the state.

See “Glue” for more information.

Number	Item	Details
(1)	Add control point	Add a control point.
(2)	Delete control point	Delete a control point.
(3)	Fold line	The clicked control point is made into a fold line.
(4)	Adjust the opacity set for the control point	Set the opacity of the control point.
(5)	Adjust the thickness set for the control point	Set the line width of the control point.
(6)	Stroke ArtPath	Create the ArtPath as you draw it by dragging it on the View.
(7)	Re-stroke ArtPath	Edit to select and draw the vertices of the ArtPath you want to deform.
(6)	Open ArtPath Auto Generation Dialog	Open the ArtPath Auto Generation Dialog.
(8)	Join ArtPaths	Connect the selected control points to each other.
(9)	Split ArtPath	Disconnect the selected control points.
(10)	ArtPath Auto Generation	Open the ArtPath Auto Generation Dialog.
(11)	Tracking Settings	Open the Tracking Settings menu.
(12)	Default brush settings	Open the Default Brush Settings dialog box.

Number	Item	Details
(1)	Deformed Brushes	You can deform the vertices as if you were painting with a brush.
(2)	Warp deformer shaping brushes	You can align the division points of the warp deformer as if you were painting with a brush.
	Weight	The larger the ratio, the darker the [Weight color] (red by default), and the more likely it is to be pulled when moving with the [Arrow tool]. You can also adjust this with the Pressure on the Pen tab. Default: 11%
	Brush size	You can change the brush size. You can also change it using [B] + drag.
	Brush hardness	Change the brush hardness.
	Weight color	You can change the color of the selection state. Default: #80FF0000
