### Divide

Clicking this button subdivides the selected subtool to increase its active point count. This serves to capture brush details from sculpting and painting brushes.

> **Note:** Continue to divide a model until the surface resolution reaches a level that captures your desired sculpting and painting fidelity.

### SDiv Slider

**Subdivision slider (SDiv)**. After applying subdivisions to the model, this slider can set your model from lowest to highest existing subdivisions.

> **Important:** The **SDiv** slider must be set to the highest level to apply further subdivisions with the **Divide** button.

### Delete Higher & Lower Subdivisions

#### 2. Delete Higher

When the **SDiv** slider is set below its maximum level, **Delete Higher** deletes all subdivisions higher than the selected point.
