Loop Slice

Defines what function the mouse plays: Move repositions the slice within the loop by hauling in the viewport or dragging on the slice indicator, Add creates additional slices when clicking on the indicator bar, and Remove deletes them.

Defines how Modo creates and positions slices: Free allows any position along the indicator bar, Uniform evenly spaces the slices within the loop, and Symmetry mirrors the loop slices over the 50% position.

Denotes which slice is the active slice for editing. Slices are numbered sequentially left to right in the input bar.

The total number of slices added to the loop.

Clicking this button automatically repositions Freely spaced spans evenly across the width of the loop.

Slice position expressed as a spacing percentage in relation to the loop width. 50% is the center.

Controls the length in pixels of the purple slice input bar in the viewport.

Controls the position of the input bar in the viewport.

Restricts the slice to only the selected portion of the mesh, rather than using the selection to simply determine the loop to cut. This setting respects corners as well.

Forces all new polys to be quadrangular inside the sliced area.

When this option is enabed, Modo attempts to continue a loop slice across polygons with more than four sides. For better control over how Loop Slice slices across the N-gon, select the loop as you wish it to be sliced and enable the Slice Selected option.

If this option is enabled, the 1D profile is evaluated from top to bottom.

If this option is enabled, Inset is reversed.

Automatically sets the Inset value based on the aspect ratio of the profile.

The new position is computed along a curve through the edges to maintain the overall curvature or surface continuity. Once enabled, the Tension setting becomes available, controlling the tightness of the curvature preservation.

Determines the strength of the curvature preservation. The default value of 100% calculates the curvature similar to a spline generated along the edge's length, placing the new vertex appropriately, where a value of 0% would be like disabling the Preserve Curvature option. Negative values inset the curvature and higher values further offset the vertex out from the curve's position.

Specifies the offset amount of X direction of 1D profile.

When enabled, provides better visibility to see the selected polygons. A guide color is displayed for the slicing edges of the selected polygons.

When the Split option is enabled the resulting 'loop' split the surface, producing two distinct overlapping edges, rather than a single connected edge.

When using the Split option, the Cap Sections option can be added to create a single polygon "cap" connected to the two resulting edge loops, in effect closing off the two new edges.

When splitting surfaces, the Gap option defines a width around the split line, in effect thickening the width of the resulting cut by the defined value.
