Properties

Height

Precise height.

Border Check

If this is enabled, the ray cast will run and it checks if the new created polygons while pushing or pulling will be beyond the other polygons. This can be used to cut a 3d shape, too.

Note

Please note that Border Check property needs many pre-calculations so it may affect the performance. Therefore, if you feel any lag at the beginning of push/pull, please turn this property off and try again.

Continuous

If off, the boundary edges between the existing side polygons and the new side polygons will be left.

Before cutting out a polygon.

When you push a polygon with Border Check property on, you can cut it out.
