Setting	Type	Description
`Mesher Type`	Choice	Blocky or smooth. Everything under Cubic applies to the first and everything under Dual Marching Cubes to the second; the details panel hides whichever one you are not using.

Setting	Type	Description
`Cubic: Grid Size`	Whole number (X, Y, Z)	How many voxels make up one chunk, per axis. Bigger chunks mean fewer of them and more work in each.
`Cubic: Voxel Size`	Number	How much world space one voxel covers, in centimetres. Halve it for twice the detail and roughly eight times the work.
`Cubic: ISO Level`	Number	The density value the mesher treats as the surface. Everything in this toolset - the primitives, the CSG nodes, the sculpt brushes - is written for 0, so leave it there unless the field is coming from somewhere else.
`Cubic: Inverted`	True/False	Swaps inside for outside: solid where the density is above the iso level instead of below it. The sculpt brushes follow it, so Add still adds.
`Greedy Meshing`	True/False	Merges neighbouring coplanar faces into single large quads instead of emitting one per voxel face. Far fewer triangles for the same blocky shape, and on by default.
`Per Chunk Parallelization`	True/False	Splits the meshing work inside a single chunk across threads. Off by default.

Setting	Type	Description
`Dual Marching Cubes: Grid Size`	Whole number (X, Y, Z)	How many voxels make up one chunk, per axis. Bigger chunks mean fewer of them and more work in each.
`Dual Marching Cubes: Voxel Size`	Number	How much world space one voxel covers, in centimetres. Halve it for twice the detail and roughly eight times the work.
`Dual Marching Cubes: ISO Level`	Number	The density value the mesher treats as the surface. Everything in this toolset - the primitives, the CSG nodes, the sculpt brushes - is written for 0, so leave it there unless the field is coming from somewhere else.
`Dual Marching Cubes: Inverted`	True/False	Swaps inside for outside: solid where the density is above the iso level instead of below it. The sculpt brushes follow it, so Add still adds.
`Force Manifold`	True/False	Runs the extra pass that resolves the cell configurations which would otherwise leave an edge shared by more than two faces. On by default, because most of what you would do next with the mesh refuses a non-manifold one.

Setting	Type	Description
`Auto Fit Bounds`	True/False	Find the shape on its own and build only where it actually is. On by default, and it saves you sizing a box by hand. It works by sniffing for the surface, which needs the field to behave like a distance. Multiply a density by 50 somewhere upstream and the sniffing goes wrong: patches of surface never get built and you get a mesh full of holes. Turn this off and give it a box when that happens, or when you only want a piece of a bigger field.
`Search Extent`	Number	How far out from the origin to look for the surface. Be generous. Empty space costs nothing here, and if your shape runs past this line it gets cut off flat at the edge. The node warns you when it hits the boundary.
`Bounds Center`	Vector	Where the box sits, when you are placing it yourself.
`Bounds Extent`	Vector	How big the box is from the middle out, when you are placing it yourself. What gets built is filled in whole tiles, so it can spill a little past the size you type.

Setting	Type	Description
`Enable Raytracing`	True/False	Builds raytracing data for the live preview. It has no bearing on the mesh Density to Mesh hands you.

Setting	Type	Description
`Enable Collision`	True/False	Builds collision for the live preview. Same as raytracing: the baked mesh does not carry it.
`Collision Max LOD`	Whole number	How far down the LOD chain to build collision. 0 is full detail only, which is nearly always what you want.
`Async Collision`	True/False	Cooks that collision on a worker thread so the preview does not stall while it finishes.
