Combining relief clipart with a relief layer

You can combine relief clipart with the active relief layer in one of five ways: Add, Subtract, Merge High, Merge Low, or Replace. You can also set the position in which the relief clipart is combined with a selected relief layer.

In the Tool Settings: Transform panel, click the Relief Clipart Paste Options button to display the paste options for the relief clipart:

• Paste Combine Mode
  • Add — Select this option to add the relief clipart to the active relief layer.

    

  • Subtract — Select this option to subtract the relief clipart from the active relief layer.

    

  • Merge High — Select this option to merge the relief clipart with the active relief layer, so that only the highest points show.

    

  • Merge Low — Select this option to merge the relief clipart with the active relief layer so that only the lowest points show.

    

  • Replace — Select this option to replace the relief on the active relief layer with the relief clipart.

    

  • Paste outline vector — Select this option to paste a copy of the relief clipart's boundary onto the vector layer.
• Add Flush — Select whether or not to add a constant height to the relief clipart when it is pasted onto a relief layer. Select:
  • Relief Zero Plane to paste the relief clipart at the model Z zero position.
  • Maximum Height to paste the relief clipart at the highest point in the composite relief.
• Height Specify the constant height to be applied beneath the base of the relief clipart.
• Wrap Projection — Choose whether the relief clipart is projected onto a flat surface, or wrapped around a cylindrical or spherical shape. Select:
  • Linear to project the relief clipart onto the surface of the relief layer.
  • Radial to wrap the relief clipart around a spherical shape curved in both the X and Y-axes.
  • Wrap X to wrap the relief clipart around a cylindrical shape curved around the X-axis.
  • Wrap Y to wrap the relief clipart around a cylindrical shape curved around the Y-axis.
  Note: If you select Radial, Wrap X, or Wrap Y, the Transform Origin option is selected.
• Relief Clipart — Choose whether to paste the relief clipart onto the active relief layer, or onto a new relief layer.
  • Paste — Click to paste the relief clipart onto the current active layer.
