Grease Pencil ‣ Clean Up ‣ Merge by Distance

Merge by Distance is a useful tool to simplify a stroke by merging the selected points that are closer than a specified distance to each other. Note, unless using Unselected, selected points must be contiguous, else they will not be merged.

Merge Distance

Sets the distance threshold for merging points.

Unselected

Allows points in selection to be merged with unselected points. When disabled, selected points will only be merged with other selected ones.

Reproject

Menü

Grease Pencil ‣ Clean Up ‣ Reproject

Sometimes you may have drawn strokes unintentionally in different locations in the 3D space but they look right from a certain plane or from the camera view. You can use Reproject to flatten all the selected strokes from a certain viewpoint.

Reprojected Type

Front

Reproject selected strokes onto the front plane (XZ).

Side

Reproject selected strokes onto the side plane (YZ).

Top

Reproject selected strokes onto the top plane (XY).

View

Reproject selected strokes onto the current view.

Surface

Reproject selected strokes onto the mesh surfaces.

Cursor

Reproject selected strokes onto 3D cursor rotation.

Surface Offset

When Surface Mode is activated controls the stroke offset from the object.

Keep Original

Maintains the original strokes after applying the tool.

Original drawing from the front view.

Original drawing in the 3D Viewport.

Strokes reprojected onto the front plane to fix strokes misalignment.

Grease Pencil ‣ Clean Up ‣ Recalculate Geometry

This operator updates all internal geometry data. It is not intended that you will have to use this operator but it can help in cases where strokes are drawn in a strange way or when you opened an old file.

Dissolve between Ctrl-X

Deletes all the points between the selected points without splitting the stroke. The remaining points in the strokes stay connected.

Dissolve Unselect Ctrl-X

Deletes all the points that are not selected in the stroke without splitting the stroke. The remaining points in the strokes stay connected.

Delete All Active Frames

Deletes all the strokes at the current frame in all layers/channels.
