Sculpt: Mask Slice Authored by Pablo Dobarro (pablodp606) on Oct 31 2019, 2:04 PM.

Sculpt: Mask Slice This operator is similar to Mask Extract, but it deletes the masked points on the original mesh and fills the holes. This can be useful for quickly trimming or splitting an object. This is not meant to be the main trimming tool of sculpt mode. I plan to have a set of trimming tools based on geometry booleans (trim box, lasso, line, bisect...) but in some cases doing a mask selection is more convenient.

Event TimelineComment Actions Wow! That was what I had been dreaming about! Comment Actions You mention other slicing tools. Does this still fit into this list of tools?

I also added Mask Slice and Mask Slice and Fill Holes to the menu, as some users requested that they want to delete the masked geometry without filling the holes. Comment Actions The main trimming tools will cut directly through the whole mesh from the view using a box or lasso selection and should be available as a tool directly from the toolbar (like box mask and box hide) using the new boolean code in T67744 and the sculpt mode undo, so hopefully, they will be much faster and precise than this.
Comment Actions I wonder if you might consider adding a Border option for Mask Slice to New Object and future trim tools. The idea is to give a border of additional geometry for a slice so that it'd intersect with the original piece. This way after remeshing the pieces there won't be any visible separation between the pieces and they can be joined and remeshed again.  | |||||||||||||||||||||
