Operations

Beyond modeling, Chisel provides a handful of operations for cleaning up SDF stacks, converting to mesh, baking, and managing scene visibility. Most are one-button actions in the Object Properties panel or pie menu.

Topics

• Convert to Mesh — Dual Contouring or Marching Cubes export
• Convert Mesh to SDF — the inverse: bake a mesh object into an SDF primitive.
• Rebuild Mesh — refresh the proxy mesh after edits
• Clean — detach a Chisel object from its boolean parents
• Apply Modifiers — convert and remove the source shapes in one click
• Veil & Unveil — quickly hide / reveal non-rendered objects

For map baking (normal / height / mask / diffuse), see Render Engine: Baking.
