Tools for creating
details for curves
can be found in
the Curves category
of the
Detail tab.
Edges
Tools in the Edges category (Figure 1.42) help you
control fine polygon detail within your model or
selection. The Add Edges tool, for example, lets you
divide a polygon precisely by creating a new edge
within it. Click a point on one edge of a selected
polygon, then a point on another edge, and a new
edge segment is added, connecting the clicked
points. Don??™t confuse this command category with
the Edges button at the bottom of the Modeler
interface, which is used in Edges-selection mode.
Measure
The last tool category in the Detail tab is
Measure (Figure 1.43). It contains several
measurement tools you can use to
click and drag within selections for precise
measurement readouts in the lower
left info panel. You can measure angles,
object lengths, and perimeters. But
wait, there??™s more! You can use other
Measure tools to locate the centers of
objects, or create bounding-box representations,
which can act as placeholders
for complex objects within a model.
MapTab
The Map tab is home to all the tools
you??™ll need for working with vertex and
weight maps in Modeler.
