| Select tools from left to right on the current tool tray. | 0 - 9 | 0 - 9 | Press the 0 through 9 keys to select the first 9 tools on a tool tray. For more information, see Trays. |
| Invert Function | Ctrl | Ctrl | If the current tool has an inverse function, the inverse function is applied as you sculpt or paint. |
| Activate the Smooth tool temporarily | Shift | Shift | Temporarily smooths vertices, no matter which tool is active. (Releasing the Shift key reverts to the selected tool function.) |
| Turn on the Smooth Values property temporarily to smooth color applied with Freeze or Mask. | Shift | Shift | Temporarily turns on Smooth Values when using Mask or Freeze. Releasing the Shift key reverts to regular Mask or Freeze. For more information, see Advanced properties. |
| Toggle Falloff | Ctrl + \ | Command + \ | Toggles the tools falloff property between its current and previous setting. |
| Mirror X | Shift + Alt + X | Shift + Option + X | Reflects strokes for the current sculpt or paint tool across the world space X-axis. |
| Mirror Y | Shift + Alt + Y | Shift + Option + Y | Reflects strokes for the current sculpt or paint tool across the world space Y-axis. |
| Mirror Z | Shift + Alt + Z | Shift + Option + Z | Reflects strokes for the current sculpt or paint tool across the world space Z-axis. |
| Sample color in the 3D View | I | I | Turns on the Color Picker and changes the display mode to Flat Lighting to let you copy/sample color. |
| Mirror Tangent | Shift + Alt + T | Shift + Option + T | Reflects strokes for the current sculpt or paint tool across the topological center line of a topologically symmetrical model. See also Set a topological axis. |

| Flatten to UV Space, Unflatten from UV Space | Alt + T | Option + T | Produces a flattened copy of a 3D model. The vertices on the flattened version are repositioned to match the UV texture coordinates of the original model to allow texture painting or basic UV editing. The original 3D version still exists and is temporarily invisible. Pressing Alt + T a second time deletes the unflattened version and displays the original 3D version with updated textures/UVs. |
