Masked Object Dimming

The Masked Object Dimming slider controls the intensity of masks on the tool. Higher values will make the masks appear darker. This is a display effect and does not change the masks themselves.

Inactive Subtool Dimming

The Inactive Subtool Dimming slider controls the shading value of the inactive subtool’s materials. If this is set to .9 then the inactive Subtool material will have a greater intensity and a lower value will tend towards black. Filling a subtool with color, or displaying a texture map on a subtool, will disable this effect.
