A reference guide for 3D modeling, specifically showing different polygon mesh configurations and techniques for creating them.
It illustrates various ways to subdivide a polygon with a given number of vertices (4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and n) into quads and triangles.

Symmetry Global X,Y,Z
Allows you to specify what the global center is for the symmetry plane, which can be either true Global Space, Local Space (to the Objects center) or General Case Axis, which is a customizable center, very useful to rotate or roll the symmetry axis.

Exported meshes as .obj files from Blender to 3DCoat for UV mapping all of the edges had been marked as sharp.
There is a way to avoid this from happening in the Blender export .obj options. All you have to do is untick the “normals” option under the Geometry settings.

Freeze/Pose Opacity is only a freezing visualization parameter, it just makes the appearance denser or more transparent, but does not affect the freezing strength of the current stroke.

Presets are a set of brush modification useful to keep a "library" of own sets.
Same as any Tools, can be duplicate if need to keep your own original settings.
Another tools named Custom > BaseBrush are very useful too, let you create a new category of stacked tools.

You can use the Shift key to select multiple alphas for the brush to use one at a time.
You will need to manually select each alpha from the Brushes Panel to do multi-alpha painting.
The order in which you shift+select them matters.
