#  Patches Help
|

|
Shortcut: {{patches tool}}

The Patches tool helps fill in holes in your topology.
|
|
Select the strip of boundary edges that you wish to fill.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Creating
|
|
|
|
| | | |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| {{action alt1}} | : | toggle vertex as a corner |
|
|
| {{fill}} | : | create visualized patch |
|
|
| {{increase count}} | : | increase segment count when bridging |
|
|
| {{decrease count}} | : | decrease segment count when bridging |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Selecting
|
|
|
|
| | | |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| {{select single, select single add}} | : | select edge |
|
|
| {{select smart, select smart add}} | : | smart select boundary edges |
|
|
| {{select paint, select paint add}} | : | paint edge selection |
|
|
| {{select path add}} | : | select edges along shortest path |
|
|
| {{select all}} | : | select / deselect all |
|
|
| {{deselect all}} | : | deselect all |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Transforming
|
|
|
|
| | | |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| {{action}} | : | grab and move selected geometry under mouse |
|
|
| {{grab}} | : | grab and move selected geometry |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
The Patches tool currently only handles a limited number of selected regions.
|
|
More support coming soon!
|
|
|
|
- 2 connected strips in an L-shape
|
|
- 2 parallel strips: the two strips must contain the same number of edges
|
|
- 3 connected strips in a C-shape: first and last strips must contain the same number of edges
|
|
- 4 strips in a rectangular loop: opposite strips must contain the same number of edges
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no pre-visualized regions show after selection, no geometry will be created after pressing {{fill}}.
|
|
|
|
Adjust the Angle parameter to help Patches determine which connected edges should be in the same strip.
|
|
Alternatively, you can manually toggle vertex corners using {{action alt0}}.
