Hello all,

is there a way to change the size of the brush when using the selection paint tool?

And (perhaps more important) is it possible to turn off the display of the normals while selecting?

Thanks,
Koen

I don't think you can change the brush size…
but you can turn off the normals by hitting “d” in the viewport and de-selecting “Follow Selection Mask”

Actually, when bush picking is active,there is brush size parameter on top of the scene view

wow, thanks for pointing that out, I should look in the obvious places first I guess :-)

Then, maybe another simple one. I use the paint selection mostly on primitives. However, this does not really work, since even when selecting primitives, the selection is determined by the points you cross, not the edges or faces. This way it is really hard to select one column of faces, and what gets selected feels broken.

Is there a way to fix that as well?

Cheers,

Koen

brush size parameter…


for selecting faces I usually just use the “f” hotkey to walk the selection

This is being addressed in H12. Painting will also only capture visible faces by default, as well (as will other area-select operations).

sory for the necro but how would you go about adding a hotkey (like photoshop [ button) to increase and decrease brush select radius

I don't think it's possible. Is the scroll wheel not working for you? (I guess not with a tablet)
