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#

Referencia

Modo:: Modo Edición
Menú:: Stroke ‣ Subdivide

Subdivides the strokes by inserting points between the selected points.

Número de Cortes: El número de subdivisiones a realizar.
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).
UV: When enabled, the operator affect the UV rotation on the points.

Simplificar#

Referencia

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.

Intervalos: 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.

Trim#

Modo:: Modo Edición
Menú:: Stroke ‣ Trim

Trims selected stroke to first loop or intersection.

Contorno#

Referencia

Modo:: Modo Edición
Menú:: 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.
Frontal:: 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:: Se asignará el material activo al contorno del trazo.
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.

Unir#

Referencia

Modo:: Modo Edición
Menú:: Stroke ‣ Join ‣ Join, Join and Copy
Atajo:: Ctrl-J, Shift-Ctrl-J

Join two or more strokes into a single one.

Tipo

Join Ctrl-J: Join selected strokes by connecting points.
Join and Copy Shift-Ctrl-J: Join selected strokes by connecting points in a new stroke.

Leave Gaps

When enabled, do not use geometry to connect the strokes.

Move to Layer#

Referencia

Modo:: Modo Edición
Menú:: Stroke ‣ Move to Layer
Atajo:: M

A pop-up menu to move the stroke to a different layer. You can choose the layer to move the selected strokes to from a list of layers of the current Grease Pencil object. You can also add a new layer to move the selected stroke to. When creating a new layer, there is another pop-up to type in the name of the new layer.

Assign Material#

Referencia

Modo:: Modo Edición
Menú:: Stroke ‣ Assign Material

Changes the material linked to the selected stroke. You can choose the name of the material to be used by the selected stroke from a list of materials of the current Grease Pencil object.

Set as Active Material#

Modo:: Modo Edición
Menú:: Stroke ‣ Set as Active Material

Sets the active object material based on the selected stroke material.

Arrange#

Referencia

Modo:: Modo Edición
Menú:: Stroke ‣ Arrange

Change the drawing order of the strokes in the 2D layer.

Bring to Front: Moves to the top the selected points/strokes.
Bring Forward: Moves the selected points/strokes upper the next one in the drawing order.
Send Backward: Moves the selected points/strokes below the previous one in the drawing order.
Send to Back: Moves to the bottom the selected points/strokes.

Close#

Modo:: Modo Edición
Menú:: Stroke ‣ Close
Atajo:: F

Close or open strokes by connecting the last and first point.

Tipo

Close All: Close all open selected strokes.
Open All: Open all closed selected strokes.
Toggle: Close or Open selected strokes as required.

Crear Geometría

When enabled, points are added for closing the strokes. If disabled, the operator act the same as Toggle Cyclic.

Modo:: Modo Edición
Menú:: Stroke ‣ Toggle Cyclic

Toggles between an open stroke and closed stroke (cyclic).

Tipo

Close All: Close all open selected strokes.
Open All: Open all closed selected strokes.
Toggle: Close or Open selected strokes as required.
Crear Geometría: When enabled, points are added for closing the strokes like when using the Close tool. If disabled, the stroke is close without any actual geometry.
