				*******************************
				Working with Multiple Objects
				*******************************

				Unlike Edit Mode, there is no multi-object editing supported for Sculpt Mode.
				Since sculpting often involves editing many separate objects,
				it is recommended to use the shortcut :kbd:`Alt Q` while pointing at other objects, for
				:ref:`bpy.ops.object.transfer_mode` quickly.

				.. general graphic of a sculpt that is divided among multiple objects.

				The advantage of using multiple objects is that each can have its own origin and modifiers.
				Splitting the geometry among multiple objects can also improve the sculpt mode performance.
				Alternatively objects can also be :doc:`joined </scene_layout/object/editing/join>` so there is no need to switch objects.

				.. example image of face sets after joining objects

				In the case that Face Sets were already used,
				joining objects or creating new geometry in Edit Mode will automatically assign new Face Sets.
				This makes it immediately possible to target each new geometry, for example via auto-masking.
				If no Face Sets are created, use the :ref:`bpy.ops.sculpt.face_sets_init` operator to create them.

				.. example images of an extracted surface with thickness and wires on solid. Also a sliced object via masks.

				Face Sets and Masked geometry can also be extracted via :ref:`bpy.ops.mesh.paint_mask_extract`
				or sliced into a new object via :ref:`bpy.ops.mesh.paint_mask_slice`.
