Modeler V1.9 full release notes

Features:

• Keyboard shortcut changes:
  • While in any tool other than the Select tool, the Shift key now temporarily switches to the Smooth tool.
  • While using the Select tool, Shift still enables angle snapping for rotations.
  • There is not currently a shortcut to equip the Smooth tool permanently.
  • Keyboard shortcut D now equips the Flatten tool. 
  • Keyboard shortcut Z while using the Warp tool restricts the Warp to the normal of the warped surface.
• The average mode has been removed from the Flatten tool. You can now only use additive or subtractive modes with the Flatten tool.

Fixes:

• Fixed some English strings.
• The Flatten tool now works correctly when the cursor is not on a clay surface.
• The Flattening plane will stop appearing when the cursor isn’t over a surface.
• The Inflate tool’s pressure parameter now defaults to On, like other tools.
