Description
You can now lock selected mesh elements in Freestyle to keep a portion of the shape untouched during a modification.
You can lock faces, edges, and vertices of a shape while keeping the rest of the shape unlocked. The locked elements are displayed differently from the unlocked elements to indicate that they cannot be modified.
 | Locking mesh elements is not possible in the resolution mode. |
Benefits
This enhancement is useful when you work on a shape and want to lock it to preserve its definition and avoid any inadvertent modifications in the geometry. Sometimes, you want to modify only a specific portion of a shape and keep the other portion untouched. Previously, it was only possible to lock the entire shape.
This enhancement enables you to easily lock specific elements of a Freestyle shape to preserve their location while allowing modification of the other elements. This improves productivity and user experience.
