About the Sculpt User Interface
The Sculpt tab consists of commands, tabs, and shortcut menus. Click > to open the Sculpt tab.
Commands
• Sculpt
◦ 
—Switches the mesh orientation to the next marquee face.
• Depth
◦ 
—Sculpts through only the primary face of the geometry.
◦ 
—Sculpts the geometry with the motion of the primary face also applied to the opposite face.
◦ 
—Sculpts the geometry symmetrically on the primary and opposite faces.
• Rows box—Sets the number of mesh rows.
• Columns box—Sets the number of mesh columns.
Tabs
• References
◦ Geometry collector—Displays the bodies or the group of curves, quilts, or facet geometry to bend.
◦ Hide Original check box—Hides the geometry of the original entity used in the warp.
◦ Copy Original check box—Copies the original entity used in the warp after you have completed it.
◦ Facet Preview check box—Displays a preview of the warped geometry within the feature. Facet Preview is unavailable if the selection consists only of facet geometry, curves, or both.
▪ Facet Preview slider—Increases or decreases the preview quality.
▪ Facet Preview box—Specifies a preview quality value from 0 to 100.
◦ Direction collector—Displays the coordinate system or reference plane selected for the warp.
• List
◦ Warp list—Lists each warp procedure within the current Warp feature.
▪ 
—Moves the insertion arrow to the beginning of the list.
▪ 
—Moves the insertion point back by one item.
▪ 
—Moves the insertion point forward by one item.
▪ 
—Moves the insertion arrow to the end of the list.
▪ 
—Deletes the selected warp procedure from the list.
• Options
Contains the symmetry, drag, filter, and scale options.
◦ Symmetry list—Sets the direction the group of selected points moves.
▪ None—No symmetry.
▪ Horizontal—Points move symmetrically about the horizontal centerline of the face.
▪ Vertical—Points move symmetrically about the vertical centerline of the face.
◦ Drag list—Constrains the movement of the selected points.
▪ Normal—Points move normal to the selected face.
▪ Free—Points move freely.
▪ Along Row/Column—Points move along the rows or columns toward neighboring rows and columns.
◦ Filter list—Sets the behavior of the selected points in relation to the dragged point.
▪ Constant—Selected points move the same distance as the dragged point.
▪ Linear—Selected points drop off linearly with respect to the distance from the dragged point.
▪ Smooth—Selected points drop off smoothly with respect to the distance from the dragged point.
◦ Scale box—Sets a value relative to the default value of 1 for control point displacement.
• Marquee
◦ References collector—Sets initial marquee size and location when you select geometry, bodies, datum planes, or datum points.
◦ Rows
▪ Sets the Start and End of a row as a percentage of the original marquee (when Marquee Size method is Proportional).
▪ Sets the Start and Length of a marquee row as a value (when Marquee Size method is Absolute).
▪ Sets the Start Offset and End Offset of a marquee row as a value offset from the marquee start or end (when Marquee Size method is Offset).
◦ Columns
▪ Sets the Start and End of a column as a percentage of the original marquee (when Marquee Size method is Proportional).
▪ Sets the Start and Length of a marquee column as a value (when Marquee Size method is Absolute).
▪ Sets the Start Offset and End Offset of a marquee column as a value offset from the marquee start or end (when Marquee Size method is Offset).
◦ Depth (available when

is selected)
▪ Sets the Start and End of the marquee depth as a percentage of the original marquee (when Marquee Size method is Proportional).
▪ Sets the Start and Length of the marquee depth as a value (when Marquee Size method is Absolute).
▪ Sets the Start Offset and End Offset of the marquee depth as a value offset from the marquee start or end (when Marquee Size method is Offset).
◦ Marquee Size list—Sets the method used to determine marquee size.
▪ Absolute—Sets the marquee size using absolute dimensions.
▪ Offset—Sets the marquee size using distance from the marquee start or end.
▪ Proportional—Sets the marquee size as a percentage relative to the original.
◦ Reset—Resets the marquee to the default size and location.
• Properties
◦ Name box—Sets a name for a Warp feature.
◦ 
—Displays detailed component information in a browser.
