#  Knife Help
|
|
|
|
Shortcut: {{knife tool}}

|
The Knife tool allows you to cut into the existing geometry similarly to Blender's Knife tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: the Knife tool will only cut into existing geometry; it will not create new vertices, edges, or faces.
|
|
|
|
If nothing is selected, the first insert will
|
|
|
|
- insert a new detached vertex if the mouse is hovering a face,
|
|
- split the hovered edge,
|
|
- select the hovered vertex, or
|
|
- set a knife starting point (does _not_ create a new vertex).
|
|
|
|
The subsequent insertions will cut in new edges, splitting faces and edges accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Note: an existing face will not be split until there are distinct entrance and exit vertices.
|
|
Until the face can split, the created vertices and edges will be non-manifold (possibly detached) geometry.
