Sculpting tool limitations

The following limitations apply to the sculpting tools. For more information on the tools, see Sculpting shelf.

• The sculpting tools do not support:
  • deformers

    The sculpting tools produce unexpected results on meshes that have an existing deformer.

  • Legacy Default Viewport

    For best results, use the sculpting tools in Viewport 2.0.

  • non-manifold geometry

    Use Mesh > Cleanup to remove unwanted geometry from your mesh before you use the sculpting tools.

• Color per vertex data disappears when Show Frozen is turned on.

  To display vertex colors while sculpting, turn off Show Frozen.

• Hard edges appears soft during sculpting operations.

  Hard edges reappear once you exit the active sculpting tool.
