    Change the size of the chamfer on the edges of holes
  • Hole Size: 0-1
    Change the size of the holes
  • Use Mask: toggle
    Enables the Mask section which you can use to mask out the perforation with a brush or image.
  • Use Scale Map: toggle
    Enables the use of a scale map. When enabled the following parameters will appear:
    • Scale Map Multiplier: 0-1
      Adjust how much of an impact the scale map has on the scale of the perforation
    • Invert Scale Map: toggle
      Invert the values of the scale map
    • Custom Scale Map: image/brush
