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 to SDF: the inverse: bake any mesh object into a Chisel shape
• Rebuild Mesh: refresh the proxy mesh after edits
• Clean: detach a Chisel object from its boolean parents
• Clean Mods: remove every modifier whose target has gone missing
• Apply Modifiers: bake a whole chain into one Chisel shape and clear its stack
• Veil & Unveil: quickly hide / reveal non-rendered objects
• Convert Legacy Curve: turn an old curve shape into an Ngon, Revolve or Sweep

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