PDS:Add Fullness Tool
From OptiTexHelpEn
(Redirected from PDS:Open Fullness Tool)
Open fullness either by angle, or by distance. Fullness can be added in parallel, or by a pivot point. The first click will define the point that will be 'opened'. The second click should be on the contour where the fullness should be opened, or a pivot point be created (make sure not to click the second click on the same contour line).
