Mesh Smoothing Workflow

Use Smooth in Prepare mode to sculpt and clean local surface regions before support generation.

1) Enter Smooth mode

1. Switch to Prepare.
2. Choose Smooth from the transform toolbar.
3. Select the model to edit.

2) Configure brush dynamics

In the smoothing settings panel, tune:

• Brush Size (mm)
• Strength
• Falloff (linear, smooth, sharp)
• Iterations

3) Configure highlight

Set paint highlight color using:

• color text input
• color picker
• reset defaults if needed

4) Apply smoothing strokes

• Paint over target areas to smooth local geometry.
• Work in smaller passes for predictable results.
• Re-check silhouette and critical detail edges between passes.

Practical checks

• Avoid over-smoothing high-detail functional surfaces.
• Re-check support contact surfaces after smoothing.
• If needed, reset settings and rework with lower strength.
