11. Type of drawing

1.  Point the cursor onto "Type of drawing" menu to see 11 drawing modes available:

 

2.  The first three modes are used with drawing tablet plugged in: − Change pen width and depth depending on pen pressure applied while drawing. − When drawing lines, width remains the same, however depth differs. − Same width and depth regardless of pen pressure applied.

 

3.  The next three modes are drawing with dots, lines and curves: − Draw with separate dots (this mode allows drawing point by point). − Draw straight lines from point to point (in this and the next mode, press ''ESC'' to start drawing a line from the beginning or ''CTRL-Z'' to return to previous point). − Draw with splines from point to point. The lines and splines drawing mode always uses crossing, as opposed to additive drawing. This continues until you switch from lines drawing mode into another one.

 

4.  Stamp: in this mode stamp follows the mouse (pen) without leaving traces. You can rotate the pen using ''('' and '')''keys or mouse wheel (under corresponding adjustments in the ''Options'' menu), change pen size and see how the stamp is going to be applied onto object:

We recommend using the Stamp mode with "Additive drawing" option located in the depth channel menu disabled.

5.  The concluding four modes are drawing by contours: − Draw with frame − Draw with contour made of lines. Press to add points. Press on the initial point or double-click to finalize the contour. Press ''ESC'' to cancel the contour, ''BKSP'' to delete the last point. − Draw with continuous contour. Press left mouse button to draw contour. − Draw with ellipse. Here’s an example of drawing with contour of lines:

 

 

- The ''Border width'' slider is responsible for border width when drawing with frame, ellipse or contour.

- The ''Ignore back faces'' switch – no drawing on the back, invisible part of surface. This option is available only when drawing with frame, ellipse or contour.
