Voxel Tool Box Mode

Box Mode edits a three-dimensional region instead of a flat area.

How It Works

You define two opposite corners of a box, and Foxel applies the active tool to the full enclosed volume.

This mode is especially useful for:

• blocking out forms
• creating large solid shapes
• erasing or selecting a 3D region in one step

After you click the first voxel, Foxel shows a box preview to help you judge the affected area before the box is applied.

How to Use It

1. Click a voxel to set the first corner of the box.
2. Move the cursor and click a second voxel to define the opposite corner.
3. Adjust the preview box if needed.
4. Apply the box.

Adjusting the Box

As long as the preview box is visible, it can still be resized, moved, applied, or canceled.

Resize the Box

• Click and drag one of the sides of the preview box to resize it in that direction.

Move the Box

• Hold Ctrl and use the gizmo to move the box.
• You can also use the arrow keys to move the box by 1 unit.
• Hold Shift while using the arrow keys to move the box by 10 units.

Apply or Cancel the Box

• Click on a side of the preview box to apply it.
• Press Esc to cancel it.

Shape Option

By default, Box Mode processes the full box volume.

You can also choose a different 3D shape in the Toolbar. Available shapes include:

• box
• sphere
• pyramid
• cone
• cylinder
• wedge

The active tool is then applied only to the voxels that belong to the selected shape.

Notes

• You can change the orientation of the active shape inside the box using the Rotate 90° and Flip buttons in the Action Bar.
• If you use the Wedge or Pyramid shape, hold Shift while resizing the box to snap the size to perfect angles.

When to Use It

Choose Box Mode when your edit should have depth, not just width and height.
