Toggling Behavior

is enabled and the Transform options are disabled. The status change behavior of the sections in the Sculpt panel depends on which options are selected:
- Switching from object to subobject mode enables the Transform section.
- Enabling Controls section switches to subobject mode and enables the Transform section.
- Switching to object mode disables the Transform section.
Selection Workflow
In ICEM Design Experience, two workflows are possible:
- Selection → action workflow, introduced in ICEM Design
Experience.
You first select entities and then activate the command.
The system analyses internally the selected entities and carries out the
command according to the selection. In addition, the corresponding command
panel opens and offers you the possibility to edit the temporary result
before confirming it with OK.
Note:
The result is computed only if you select admissible objects for the
activated command. If you select inadmissible objects, an error message is
displayed indicating the required object type.
- Action → selection workflow, known from other apps.
You first activate the command action bar and then select the entities to be used for creating objects or
objects to be modified.

- Pick
