Designer Tool

Select

• Vertex/Edge/Face : provide easy ways not only to select vertices, edges and faces but also to move the selected those elements.
• Pivot : provides a convenient way to change the pivot position to where you want it to be.
• Object : is used for selecting (an) another object(s). This tool is actually same as the Object Mode in the Sandbox.
• All/None : using this tool you will be able to select or deselect all elements with just one click.
• Connected : is useful if you want to select all faces connecting one another from the selected face.
• Grow : provides a easy way of expanding a selection based on the current selected faces.
• Loop : gives a way to select serial linked edges which form a loop from selected edges.
• Ring : gives a way to select sequence edges which are not connected but on the opposite side to each other continues along a face loop from selected edges
• Invert : is used for inverting the selection states of the faces. Namely the selected faces will be unselected and the unselected faces will be selected after applying this tool.

Shape

• Box : is so nice that you can easily create a simple level with only this tool. You can create boxes successively on any surfaces, which will be merged with the existing geometry very well without producing unnecessary and invisible faces.
• Sphere : provides a way of a sphere creation in a designer object.
• Cylinder : has a capability to create a cylinder in a designer object.
• Cone : is used to create a cone in a designer object.
• Rectangle : provides a way of creating a rectangle on a surface.
• Disc : is used to draw a disc with 'n' edges and 'r' radius on a surface.
• Line : gives a user a way to draws lines on surfaces
• Curve : provides a way of drawing a curve.
• Stair : creates a stair by making a box based on a step rise specified by the user.
• Stair Profile : draws a stair profile based on a step rise specified by the user.
• Cube Editor : provides very simple and easy way to make shapes in the world by just putting or removing or painting cubes, which can have various sizes.

Edit

• Extrude : provides a powerful function to push or pull the selected face so you can expand a 2D surface to a 3D shape.
• Extrude Multiple
• Extrude Edges
• Offset : takes a face and creates an inset of the selected face in an easy way.
• Weld : is used to merge the selected two vertices by moving the first vertex to the second vertex.
• Collapse : The connected edges will be collapsed to the center position of them with this tool.
• Fill : fills a space surrounded by edges or vertices with a polygon.
• Flip :
• Merge : can be used for merging multiple designer objects or connected faces to an object or a face.
• Separate :
• Remove :
• Copy :
• Remove Doubles : provides a way to make a mesh simple by merging the selected vertices within the specified distance.

Modify

• Slice :
• Mirror :
• LoopCut : can be used for cutting polygons by several loop edges in an intuitive way. This tool is only available to quad-shaped polygons.
• Magnet : snaps a selected face to an another vertex.
• Lathe : creates a mesh by extruding each edge of a profile polygon along a path. The user can make a complicated model with this tool without a big effort.
• Bevel :
• Boolean :
• Array :
• Clone :
• Subdivision : creates a smooth appearance of a mesh without complicated manipulations. A mesh doesn't need many vertices or faces to model complex smooth surfaces. What is more the user can give each edge a tag called a Semi-Sharp Crease, which define how sharp each edge is.

Texture Tools

• Mapping : Materials can be assigned to each face differently and it is also possible to manipulate uv coordinates with gizmos with this tool.
• Smoothing Group : is for assigning numbers to faces. The faces with same numbers and being connected with an edge are rendered smoothly.

Misc

• Hide Face : is used to hide the selected faces. The hidden faces aren't removed so they can be shown again whenever you want.
• Reset X-Form :
• Pivot To Center :
• Export :
• Snap to Grid :
• Designer Shortcuts : is used to bind each tool in CryDesigner to specific key combinations so that you can access each tool quickly.

Mode

• Exclusive Mode :
• Nonplanar Quad Mode : A Designer object can have nonplanar quads in its mesh with "Nonplanar Quad" enabled in Settings
• Seamless Mode :
