Sculpt tool using strokes

[awilliamwright]

How on earth do I made the sculpting tools work with strokes, instead of this infuriating "hold down to select strength" mode? I want to very gradually relax some geometry using light strokes with my Wacom. I can't find an answer anywhere, and all the tutorials online have people using the tool with it working the way you'd think it would (also, it seems like most of them are using a different tool that might be for an older version...or something on the full version of Maya, I don't know.). 

And please don't say, "just use Zbrush or Scuptris." I have a simple mesh in Maya that I merely need to clean up, so that's just mean spirited to say.

Hi @awilliamwright

Thanks for posting! I definitely can see the frustration here, and I'd love to get you a workaround. Any chance you can post the scene you are working on? Or a screenshot? it would also be helpful to see those tutorials you mentioned so we can get the full context 🙂 Can you post a link to them here as well?

Thanks for your time! I look forward to getting this resolved asap!

Hi!

I am a bit confused. Sculpting is purely based on strokes.

And the behavior of the tool (like Brush Size max/min and Strength max/min, ...) is defined in the Tool Settings.

Please add a screenshot of your Viewport and the Tool Settings of your active Sculpt tool.
