Scale: If Subdivision is set to 2 or higher, you can use the Scale parameter to adjust the distance
between the new points. The scaling takes place in the direction of the rst point.
Iron
If your mesh looks too uneven, smooth it out using this virtual iron. The tool works in all three modes
(point, edge and polygon).
The Iron tool works by smoothing out the selection in areas where the angle between neighboring
edges is equal to or greater than a threshold angle (‘Angle’). The strength of smoothing is controlled
by the Percent value.
To use the Iron tool:
 Drag in the viewport to vary the Percent value (i.e. the strength of
smoothing).
 Shift-drag in the viewport to vary the Angle value (i.e. the threshold
angle).

Angle
Before ironing with ‘Angle’ < 85° (top) and after ironing with ‘Angle’ >= 85° (bottom).
This is the threshold angle. Neighboring edges in the selection will only be ironed if the angle between
them is the same as the Angle value or higher.
