The pattern dynamically updates as you make changes, you can even adjust the size and position of your original 'tile' at any timeĤ0 models have been created specifically for use with this new tool and are supplied with the software as part of the included clip art.

This provides powerful control to make an incredible number of variations to your pattern and create some very interesting effects. The create texture area form lets you specify the spacing and overlap of each tile, enter a 'shift' for every other row or column of your pattern and control the 'symmetry' or reflection of the tiles. It requires a single 'tile' component and optionally one or more closed boundary vectors which define the region in which the tiling should take place. This feature lets you create a repeating pattern or texture. The final option also allows you to drop the component by the value we are removing to, to help keep your models to standard relief heights. Simply select if you would like to replace this with transparency or a plane. This height can be manually typed in or you can simply double click on an area of the model itself that we want to remove and the form will update according to the Z value of where you have clicked. Another scenario could be that you have created a negative area in your model for example when sculpting or combining a component with a deep subtracted model, this tool will easily remove anything below a given height.

For example if you've imported an STL model that has a lot of thickness, which can be quite typical of 3D scanned data, this tool will allow us to simply trim away the unwanted thickness. This tool allows you to trim or flatten the bottom of a component(s).

We have added a new model editing tool which replaces the “replace below” gadget.
