Adjust line width

You can use the Adjust line width sub tool to change the line width of lines drawn on a vector layer.Some settings can be used on raster layers.

(1)Thicken

You can thicken the line width by the value specified with the slider.You can also use this setting when a raster layer is selected.

(2)Narrow

You can narrow the line width by the value specified with the slider.You can also use this setting when a raster layer is selected.

(3)At least 1 pixel

Allows you to leave 1 pixel in the center of the line when the line width is narrowed using the Adjust line width sub tool, so that the line is not broken.You can also use this setting on raster layers.

(4)Scale up width

You can thicken the line width by multiplying by the value specified with the slider.

(5)Scale down width

You can narrow the line width by multiplying by the value specified with the slider.

(6)Fix width

You can adjust the line width to the value specified with the slider.This is convenient when you want to make the line a uniform width.

(7)Process whole line

When turned on, tapping a point on the line applies Adjust line width to the entire line.

(8)Add control point and correct

When turned on, you can add control points when adjusting the line width.Adding control points makes the line smoother after adjusting the line.This setting is not available when Process whole line is turned on.

(9) Smoothening range

Allows you to set the range to smooth the line width when Add control point and correct is turned on.

Allocate

You can adjust these settings depending on what is selected in the Object list when selecting a 3D layer or 3D material with the Object sub tool.Settings include cameras and light sources, as well as the scale of 3D materials.

(1)Object List

A list of 3D materials on the same layer as the 3D material being edited.Settings such as the camera, directional light, and ambient light are also shown here.The settings in the Allocate category change according to the selected object.For details, see "Using the Object List".

(2)Duplicate

Select a 3D material and tap Duplicate to duplicate it.You can duplicate a camera and save multiple camera settings on a 3D layer.The panorama, Directional light, and Ambient light cannot be duplicated.

(3) Delete

Select a 3D material and tap Delete to delete it.When you have multiple camera settings, you can delete some by selecting Camera and tapping Delete.You cannot delete Directional light or Ambient light.

The remaining settings depend on the selected object.

·"When camera is selected"

·"When ambient light is selected"

·"When directional light is selected"

·"When a 3D drawing figure or 3D character is selected"

·"When a 3D drawing figure or 3D character is selected"

·"When a panorama is selected"

When camera is selected

When Camera is selected in the Object list, you can select a camera from the Camera list, where you can change settings for the selected camera.The settings are the same as the "Camera" category.

When ambient light is selected

When Ambient light is selected in the Object list, you can change the Ambient light color and Ambient light intensity. For the Ambient light color and Ambient light intensity settings, see "Light Source".

When directional light is selected

If Directional light 1 or Directional light 2 are selected in the object list, you can change the Angle, Directional light color and Directional light intensity. For details on Angle, Directional light color and Directional light intensity, see "Light Source".

There are two types of directional light: Directional Light 1 and Directional Light 2. The settings are the same for both, but Directional light 2 cannot be adjusted from Light source. You can change the Directional light 2 settings by selecting it in the Object List 

When a 3D drawing figure or 3D character is selected

You can adjust the following settings when a 3D drawing figure or 3D character material is selected in the Object list. You can change the same settings when you select an imported file in Clip Studio 3D character format (extension: cs3c).

(1)Object scale

You can adjust the scale of 3D drawing figures and 3D character materials.

When you change the Object scale value of a 3D drawing figure, the Height value in the 3D drawing figure category will change accordingly.However, when you change the height of a 3D drawing figure, the Object scale value will not change.

Tap Reset to reset the object back to the original size.

(2)Position

You can adjust the position of 3D drawing figures and 3D character materials by adjusting the X, Y, and Z sliders.Tap Ground to place the 3D drawing figure or 3D character material on the floor (base) of the 3D space.

(3)Whole rotation

You can rotate 3D drawing figures and 3D character materials with the X, Y, and Z sliders.Tap Reset to reset the object to the original rotation.

(4)Partial rotation

This setting is available when a part of a 3D drawing figure or 3D character is selected.You can rotate the part with the X, Y, and Z sliders.

If Joint angle limit is turned on in the Pose category, the rotation angle may be limited.

When a 3D object or 3D primitive is selected

You can adjust the following settings when a 3D object material or 3D primitive is selected in the Object List.You can change the same settings when you select an imported file in Clip Studio 3D object format (extension: cs3o) or a general-format 3D file.

(1)Object scale

You can change the scale of 3D object materials and 3D primitives with the X, Y, and Z sliders.Tap Reset to reset it to the original size.

(2)Fixed ratio

When turned on, the ratio of X, Y, and Z will be fixed when adjusting the Object Scale sliders.

(3)Position

You can change the position of 3D object materials and 3D primitives, or parts of a 3D object, with the X, Y, and Z sliders.Tap Ground to place the 3D drawing figure or 3D character material on the floor (base) of the 3D space.

(4) Rotate/Whole rotation

When a 3D object material is selected, this setting is Rotate. When a 3D Primitive is selected, this setting is Whole rotation.

You can rotate 3D object materials and 3D primitives, or parts of a 3D model, with the X, Y, and Z sliders.

Tap to reset the rotation of the 3D object or 3D primitive to the initial state.You cannot use Reset on a single part of a 3D object.

When a panorama is selected

When Panorama is selected in the object list, you can change the panorama settings.For details on each setting, see "Panorama".

Anti-aliasing

This setting adjusts the level of anti-aliasing for lines and borders.With anti-aliased lines, you can draw smoother outlines as jags are smoothed.

You can set the anti-aliasing strength to None, Weak, Middle or Strong. Choose None if you do not want to use anti-aliasing.

For some tools, there may only be the option to turn anti-aliasing on or off.You will see the following setting for the Fill or Gradient tools.

Anti-overflow

When using drawing tools such as the Brush tool, you can set it so that you cannot draw past lines on the reference layer.

(1)Do not cross lines of reference layer

When turned on, you can draw without crossing over any lines drawn on the reference layers.When the brush passes over a line, it will only paint on the side that has the majority of the brush shape (the center of the brush tip).

(2)Fill up to vector path

When a vector layer is a reference layer, the center line of the vector is referred to.

(3)Color margin

Configures the color margin (tolerance) to recognize a color as the same as that of a line drawn on the reference layer.The larger the number, the more areas of different colors are included in the reference.

(4)Area scaling

When turned on, you can enlarge or shrink the area to paint by the amount of pixels specified by the slider.

(5)Scaling mode

When Area scaling is turned on, you can set the corner shape of the area to Round, Rectangle, or To darkest pixel. For details, see "Fill".

Audio

Specify settings for audio files imported into the Timeline or Layer palette.

(1)Start time

You can adjust the start time of audio files.This is useful when you want to start playing part-way through an audio clip.Set the time by the frame value, using the same rate as the Timeline palette.Set the Start time to 0 to play the audio file from the beginning.

(2)Volume

You can adjust the playback volume of audio files.When you adjust the volume, a keyframe will be added to record the volume setting for the selected frame on the Timeline palette.

(3)Previous keyframe

Tap to move to the previous keyframe with the Volume setting.

(4)Add/delete volume keyframe

Tap to add a volume keyframe onto the selected frame on the Timeline palette.If a keyframe is already displayed, you can remove the keyframe from the current frame.

(5)Next keyframe

Tap to move to the next keyframe with the Volume setting.
