Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that changes a surface attribute of a first object to include a surface attribute of a second object at an intersection of the two objects. For example, changing a surface attribute may include identifying an intersection between a displayed first object and a displayed second object in a graphical environment, determining whether the graphical environment is operating in a first mode or a different second mode in accordance with a determination that the graphical environment is operating in the first mode, responsive to the intersection between the displayed first object and the displayed second object identifying a portion of the first object where in the identified portion is intersecting the second object and changing a surface attribute of the portion of the first object to include a surface attribute of the second object at the intersection including the surface attribute.
