Move (T; drag moves, Alt turns, Ctrl scales, ⇧ orbits): a shape clicks onto another's faces and centres, the floor, the mirror planes, the piece's centre, then the grid; thin lines show what it found and the gap in mm. Turning steps in angles, scaling keeps the shape's anchor (Size) and stops where a face meets another or the size is a whole grid step. The focaccia lies flush on faces. The noise and focaccia gizmos step by the grid and the angle.

Section off · X

shown red

Slice (X) cuts the view square to your line of sight, through the orbit centre plus the depth; [ and ] step 1 mm (Shift 0.1). The section comes from the exact field; walls thinner than the limit turn red.

Mirror planes · ZY

Applies to everything: body, ornament and cuts. Free planes pass through the view's vertical (Plane on the toolbar adds one); set each one's angle and offset here.

Focaccia · off

The real slice, at its real size, crust up. Cuts its slot: the porcelain makes way for it, the gap all round, open through its entry (the end facing you at first). Place only: it just shows where it goes. It keeps its real size when you scale the piece. With Move (T) grab it like a shape: drag moves, Alt turns. Publish and Send to Paint take it along: porcelanato shows it sliding in and cuts through its middle.
