Stroke Menu
This page covers many of the tools in the Strokes menu. These are tools that work primarily on strokes, however, some also work with point selections.
Subdividir

- Modo
Modo Edición
- Menú
Stroke ‣ Subdivide
Subdivides the strokes by inserting points between the selected points.
- Número de Cortes
The number of subdivisions to perform.
- Suavizado
The amount of the smoothness on subdivided points.
- Repetir
Number of times to repeat the procedure.
- Selected Points
When enabled, limits the effect to only the selected points within the stroke.
- Posición
When enabled, the operator affect the points location.
- Grosor
When enabled, the operator affect the points thickness.
- Intensidad
When enabled, the operator affect the points strength (alpha).
- UVs
When enabled, the operator affect the UV rotation on the points.
Simplify

- Modo
Modo Edición
- Menú
Stroke ‣ Simplify
Reduce the amount of points in the strokes.
- Fijo
Deletes alternated points in the strokes, except the start and end points.
- Pasos
The number of times to repeat the procedure.
- Adaptativo
Uses the RDP algorithm (Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm) for points deletion. The algorithm tries to obtain a similar line shape with fewer points.
- Factor
Controls the amount of recursively simplifications applied by the algorithm.
- Tomar Muestra
Recreates the stroke geometry with a predefined length between points.
- Longitud
The distance between points on the recreated stroke. Smaller values will require more points to recreate the stroke, while larger values will result in fewer points needed to recreate the curve.
- Sharp Threshold
The maximum angle between points on the recreated stroke. Smaller values will require more points to recreate the stroke, while larger values will result in fewer points needed to recreate the curve.

Stroke ‣ Outline
Converts a stroke to an outline.
- Vista
The projection method to generate the outline
- Vista
Use the viewport’s view as a projection.

Use the X-Z axes view as a projection.
- Lado
use the Y-Z axis view as a projection
- Superior
Use the X-Y axes view as a projection
- Cámara
Use the view from the active camera as a projection.
- Material Mode
How materials are assigned to the outline.
- Active Material
The stroke outline will be assigned the active material.
- Keep Material
The stoke outline will have the same material as before.
- New Material
A new material will be created and assigned to the outline.
- Grosor
Thickness of the stroke perimeter.
- Keep Shape
Try to keep global shape when the stroke thickness change.
- Subdivisiones
Number of subdivisions for the start and end caps.
- Sample Length
The length each resulting segment of the outline. Smaller values create outlines closer to the original shape.
