Color Color phase

Fill

Select faces, fill them with a color, and set effects.

Fill colors faces with one solid color. Select faces and a color swatch, then select Fill. Fill is the first tool on the Color tab. The button is in the header. The panel has an Effect dropdown, the current palette, and palette chips.

Selecting faces, colors, and effects changes nothing on the fig until you select Fill or Apply. Faces selected for Paint keep their paint until you paint over it.

Tap to select

The status line shows Color · Tap faces, pick a color, then press Fill. Tap the fig to start selecting faces. Selected faces turn pink. More taps add to the selection. Tapping a selected face removes it. Tapping empty space clears the selection. Grouped faces (e.g., stamped stickers) select as one. The status line shows the number selected (3 selected. Fill, Apply or Paint works on them · tap a face again to drop it).

The Select bar starts folded into its Select tab. Tap the tab to open it. Tap is already its mode, and it has more ways to select: Brush (drag to select), Part, All, and None. The bar also has buttons for Fill, Pattern, and the chosen effect.

Select a color, then Fill

Select a swatch to set the color. The Fill button in the header changes to show the color and the face count (e.g., Fill 3 faces). Select it to fill. The selection stays so you can add an effect next. If nothing is selected, the button can’t be used.

The palette shows 28 swatches from the current palette. See Palettes . Long-press a swatch to open a grid of 32 set colors (lights, mids, darks, and neutrals); the one you select becomes the color.

The Effect dropdown

The Effect menu has the effects: None, Light, Water, Shiny, Glass, Paper, Cardboard, Metal, Sparkle, and Clear. Color and effect choices stay together; each has its own button.

When an effect is chosen, an Apply [Effect] button appears in the header. Select it to add the effect to the selected faces and keep their color. Select it again to remove the effect. Sparkle goes on every face with that color. Clear removes all effects from the selected faces (Sparkle, set on the color, stays).

In the Flat and Pixel looks, only None, Light, Glass, Sparkle, and Clear work. See Effects for the look of each one.

The Apply row

Open the Select bar. The Apply row has buttons for Fill, Pattern, and the chosen effect. Each one applies and keeps the selection:

  • Fill: Fills with the chosen color.
  • Pattern: Applies the pattern chosen in Pattern .
  • [Effect]: Applies the chosen effect. With the Effect dropdown on None, the button is Light. Select it again to remove it.

A face has one look at a time. A fill paints over its pixels and effects. Opening Paint on a filled face starts the canvas in the fill color.
