Editor Canvas
The window’s main element is the canvas. Once you start to add scene elements, the canvas will be filled with nodes.
There are several basic operations:
- Click on a node to select it. Shift-click or draw a rectangle to select more than one node.
- Click-drag to move a node to a new position.
- Hit Del or Backspace to delete nodes.
- Click on a link to select it; hit Del or Backspace to delete it.
New connections between nodes are created this way:
- Place the mouse pointer over a node.
- Press the Cmd/Ctrl key while dragging a new line between two nodes.
- During the connection process invalid nodes are dimmed, and valid connections are displayed in green.
Navigation
These are the fundamental operations:
| Zoom | MMW |
|---|---|
| Panning | MMB + mouse drag |
| Centre on mouse position | LMB + double click |
If the nodes do not fit into the canvas you will see a navigation box (see image above). The light grey rectangle represents the currently visible nodes:
| Area panning | Drag light-grey rectangle in the navigation box |
|---|---|
| Activate navigation box | Zoom in until the navigator appears |
| Deactivate navigation box | Zoom out until the navigator disappears |
