Gravity
   Factor
      Setting the factor allows you to add gravity to your brush strokes,
      giving it a draping effect.
   Orientation
      Using another object, the gravity can be oriented to the set object's local
      Z axis, changing the direction of the gravity.
Threaded Sculpt

Fast Navigation

Use Deform Only

   Constructive modifiers (like Subdivision Surface, Mirror and other) get deactivated,
   because they could give inaccurate results.
