Update Update Propagation to Children



Update Propagation to Children
This option allows to define the level of children to be updated when working in manual update mode. Use the up and down arrows to define the propagation depth level.

By default, the depth level is set to 0.

Attenuation



Attenuation
This option lets you define the ratio between the mouse displacement and the actual displacement of the manipulator in the geometry. The smaller the coefficient, the more precise the mouse manipulation.

Click the attenuation icon to allow an attenuation or not:

  • : no attenuation is allowed
  • : an attenuation coefficient can be set using the slider. 0 is not allowed and 1 means no attenuation.

By default, no attenuation is defined and the coefficient (provided the attenuation is allowed) is set to 0.50.

Automatic Weight on Vertices



Automatic Weight on Vertices
This option lets you apply the maximum weight on vertices, provided they have a weight and there is at least three connex edges.

By default, this option is selected.

Primitive Creation Center Mode



Primitive Creation Center Mode
This option lets you create the subdivision surface either at the center of the screen (View centered) or centered at the model origin (Origin centered).

By default, this option is set to View Centered.

Commands Options Menu Mode



Commands Options Menu Mode
This option lets you visualize certain command levels either cyclically, i.e. within the same icon (Cyclic Menu) or in a separate expandable toolbar (Toolbar Menu).

By default, this option is set to Cyclic Menu.
