Transfers the crease values in the crease sets directly to the mesh and removes the edges and vertices from the crease sets. Only available when a mesh or a crease set is selected.
Create Crease Sets from Mesh
Converts the existing mesh crease values into like-valued crease sets. Only available when a mesh is selected.

Display

The following options are available when a mesh or crease set is selected:

Optimal Mesh Subdivision Level
Adjusts the mesh shape node's Preview Division Levels attribute in the Smooth Mesh > Subdivision Levels section of the Attribute Editor so it's one value greater than the maximum Crease value on the mesh. This shows the full effect of the applied creasing values on the resulting subdivision surface.
Default Mesh Subdivision Level
Sets the mesh shape node's Preview Division Levels attribute in the Smooth Mesh > Subdivision Levels section of the Attribute Editor to its default value of 2.
Create/Update Crease Color Set
Creates or updates a color set to represent the creasing values on the mesh. Values range from blue (no creasing) to red (crease value of 4+). See Polygon color sets for more information.
Tip: To view color sets, your object must be in a shaded mode (Shading > Smooth Shade All).
Show/Hide Crease Color Set
Shows or hides the previously calculated crease color set on your mesh.

Settings menu
