		Dyntopo Menu
		------------

		Detail Type
		Dynotopo uses three different detail methods to create dynamic detail to an object. The
		methods avaiable are Relative Detail (Default), Constant Detail, and Brush Detail.

		Relative Detail
		This method is uses a detail size based on the number of pixels, and in turn
		will create topology in that size.

		Constant Detail
		To keep detail uniform across the entire object, Constant Detail can be used.
		The Detail is based on the percentage of a single BU (Blender Unit).

		Brush Detail
		Giving more control over the topology, with this method you can create topology
		based on the brush size. You can increase and lower topology by simply resizing
		the brush itself. The detail size is based the size of the brush itself, where
		100% will create topology the size of the brush ring itself.

		Detail Size
		Each Deatil Type's detail is set here. Depending on the Detail Type being used
		this property will rather show as a pixel count (px), or percentage.

		Detail Refine Method
		When using Dynamic Topology, a certain method will be used to tell how topology
		is handled. Setting the option will determine which of the methods will be used when
		altering the topology.

		Subdivide
		Just like the subdivide command, this method will only subdivide topology
		to match the detail given.

		Collapse
		When topology is too dense, and is smaller than the detail given, edges will
		be collapse to fit the detail size appropriately.

		Subdivde Collapse
		This method combines the two methods, subdividing edges smaller than the
		detail size, and collapsing topology.

		Detail Flood Fill
		When using Constant Detail mode, this option is made available, allowing
		you to fill the entire object with a uniform detail, based on the detail size.

		Tiling
		Using this option allows you to seamlessly tile your strokes along the given
		axes.
		Tile Offset
		The default tile size is set to one BU (Blender Unit). The offset allows the
		option to alter the tile size along all three axes.

		Overlay Menu

		When enabled, the brush texture is shown in the viewport

		The eye icon is used as a toggle to show or hide the given brush texture
		Alpha
		You can change the amount of transparency used when showing the texture using
		the Alpha slider
		Stroke Overlay
		The brush icon allows you to turn off the viewport overlay during strokes

		Gravity
		Factor
		Setting the factor allows you to add gravity to your brush strokes, giving
		it a draping effect.
		Orientation
		Using another object, the gravity can be oriented to the set object's local
		Z axis, changing the direction of the gravity.
