This menu will enable you to select which of the tools you want to be visible in the control area. The available tools are grouped in 4 categories: "All Modes", "2D, "3D" and "Geom". Just clicking on their buttons will activate the tool. Active tools will have their button yellow. Tools from Baby SliceO basic package have a grey button, while tools imported from the "Additional Modules" section of the Web download pages have a cyan button.
You can have multiple tools open at the same time.

The All Modes Tools:
|
These are the tools that are independent of the 2D/3D information.
|
|
|
The 2D Tools:
|
These are tools that are used to manipulate 2D slices.
|
|
|
The 3D Tools:
|
These are tools that are used to affect the 3D surfaces.
|
|
|
The Geom Tools:
|
These are tools that are used to modify the geometric model.
|
Note:
|
|
|
The actual order of the tools in the list is based on the either the "Sort" name provided by the "Sort" function of the DLL or the name of the associated DLL files if the "Sort" function is not present. By convention the sort name for "All Modes" tools start with "0D", 2D with "2D", 3D with "3D ", Geom with "Geom". If a DLL does not respect this convention, its position in the list may not be correct. This has no adverse effect other than aesthetics.

Warning:
|
|
|
If the program is not full screen or if the screen resolution is not sufficient, some of the tools may not have enough room to be displayed in the tool control area. If this happens, you will see the following warning in the text window:
To fix this, you can either increase the size of Baby SliceO's window or decrease the size of the tools through the Configuration Menu.
