	Live Soap (LS) For generating minimal and CMC (zero and constant mean curvature respectively) meshes which adapt their connectivity during relaxation to maintain triangle quality
	No Fold Through (NoFoldThrough) To stop the sides of a hinge passing through each other
	Planarize Planarize
	Hinge Hinge
	Plastic Hinge (PH) Like Hinge, except folding beyond the plastic/elastic threshold will alter the rest angle
