How to Add a Shelf

To get a better understanding of the “Shelves Manager's” functionality, we will create a new shelf together. The task is to make a shelf with everything you need to create a basic Hybrido scene.

• Click on the “Add new shelf” button.

• When you are asked “Would you like to create a new shelf?” confirm with “Yes”.

• An entry, named “Shelf” appears.

• Click on “Shelf” to highlight it, and click again to make it editable.

• Enter “Hybrido Scene Nodes” as the shelf's name and hit “Return”.

So far, you have only created an empty container, but it does not contain any commands. This is what will be changed now:

• Go to the “Full RealFlow Command List” panel's input field (next to “Filters...”).

• Enter “dom” (without quotation marks).

• Now you will see RealFlow's Hybrido domain nodes.

• Select the desired entries and click on the large button with the triangle between “Selected Shelf Commands” and “Full RealFlow Command List”. Alternatively it is also possible to drag and drop the selection to the “Hybrido Scene Nodes” shelf or the “Selected Shelf Commands” panel.

Now, the Hybrido elements are part of the new shelf and it is time to proceed with the Hybrido emitter, object, daemon, and mesh nodes:

• Go to the “Filter” input field again, and enter “cube" – the appropriate node appears.
• Drag the "Cube" and "Cube_top_open" nodes to “Selected Shelf Commands”, or click on the button again.
• Repeat this process for the "Emitter", "Gravity" daemon and the "Hybrido mesh" nodes.
• Click on the “Add separator” button three times to create separator lines.
• If you are not happy with the commands' and separators' order in the middle panel then you can change it by simply shifting the entries with the mouse.
• Click on “Close”.

The new shelf appears in RealFlow's GUI immediately and is ready to use.
