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.

Subdivide

Справка

Mode:

Режим редактирования

Меню:

Stroke ‣ Subdivide

Subdivides the strokes by inserting points between the selected points.

Number of Cuts (число разрезов)

The number of subdivisions to perform.

Smooth

The amount of the smoothness on subdivided points.

Repeat (повторение)

Number of times to repeat the procedure.

Selected Points

When enabled, limits the effect to only the selected points within the stroke.

Position (положение)

When enabled, the operator affect the points location.

Толщина

When enabled, the operator affect the points thickness.

Strength (сила)

When enabled, the operator affect the points strength (alpha).

UVs

When enabled, the operator affect the UV rotation on the points.

Simplify

Справка

Mode:

Режим редактирования

Меню:

Stroke ‣ Simplify

Reduce the amount of points in the strokes.

Fixed (фиксировано)

Deletes alternated points in the strokes, except the start and end points.

Steps

The number of times to repeat the procedure.

Адаптивно

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.

Sample

Recreates the stroke geometry with a predefined length between points.

Length

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

Mode:

Режим редактирования

Меню:

Stroke ‣ Trim

Outline

Справка

Mode:

Режим редактирования

Меню:

Stroke ‣ Outline

Converts a stroke to an outline.

View

The projection method to generate the outline

View:

Use the viewport’s view as a projection.

Спереди:

Use the X-Z axes view as a projection.

Side:

use the Y-Z axis view as a projection

Top (сверху):

Use the X-Y axes view as a projection

Камера:

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.

Толщина

Thickness of the stroke perimeter.

Keep Shape

Try to keep global shape when the stroke thickness change.

Subdivisions (подразделения)

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.

Меню:

Stroke ‣ Join ‣ Join, Join and Copy

Горячая клавиша:

Ctrl-J, Shift-Ctrl-J

Join two or more strokes into a single one.

Type
Join Ctrl-J

Join selected strokes by connecting points.

Join and Copy Shift-Ctrl-J

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

Move to Layer

Справка

Mode:

Режим редактирования

Меню:

Stroke ‣ Move to Layer

Горячая клавиша:

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
