The tools have different effects depending on which combination of the Ctrl, Shift, and Alt keys you press, as described in the following definitions. PolyDraw does not require that a particular sub-object level be active, but we recommend that you use them at the Vertex level for improved visual feedback with certain tool effects. To exit a PolyDraw tool, click its button again or right-click in the active viewport.
