Brush Clipping
Split Brush: Select a brush, click C to activate clipping mode, which will turn your brush yellow.
When brush clipper is enabled you'll see a white point indicating where you'll add a split. Clicking adds more split points. For simple splits click just once and press enter to commit the operation.
Finalize the cut: At any time press enter
Undo a cut: Ctrl-Z
Cycle clipping selection: While in Clipping mode, Ctrl-Enter will cycle the part that will be kept, there's also a mode just to split a brush in two and keep both sides.
Vertex - Face - Edge - Modes
Move Vertex, Face or Edge: Select a brush, click V to enter vertex mode.
Dragging a point in the corner drags a vertex.
Dragging a point in the center of a face drags a face.
Dragging a point in the center of a line drags the edge.
While in Vertex mode, you can hold down Ctrl to select more than one vertex.
Note: Dragging faces and edges is quite stable. Dragging vertexes while severely deforming brushes can result in a crash
Grid size increase / decrease: ctrl-plus(+) / ctrl-minus(-)
