Items available from the Sculpt Layers ( ) menu.

New Layer

  Creates a new layer directly above the selected layer.

Delete Selected

  Deletes the selected layer.

Duplicate Selected

  Makes an identical copy of the selected layer. The duplicate layer is inserted directly above the selected layer.

Merge Visible

  Combines the sculpting information on only the visible layers into a single layer and then deletes all other visible layers.

Flatten

  Moves the information on all layers (for a particular layer type) onto the base (bottom) layer and then deletes all layers above the base layer.

Import Layer

  Imports a polygonal model from disk and applies it to a layer. For a description of options, see Import As Layer.

Mirror

  Reflects the sculpt detail on a selected layer of one side of an object to its opposite side. Mirroring requires that the model be topologically symmetrical, even though its shape may be asymmetrical. To set the topological axis, you must first select a face on the model and then select Mesh > Set Topological Axis.

Flip

  Swaps the sculpt detail of a layer across the mesh's topological axis. Flipping detail on a layer requires that the model be topologically symmetrical, even though its shape may be asymmetrical. To set the topological axis, you must first select a face on the model and then select Mesh > Set Topological Axis.
