- L - key for Open File Dialog to load a specific dataset or asset:
- Alt+L - load dataset (as children) onto the currently active glyph.
- To load entire dataset, choose the
[dataset]_npe.bat
file. - Single assets can be loaded by selecting the specific file:
- Native CSV tables, eg.
[dataset]_np_node.csv
- 3D Models will also attempt to load their specified texture.
- Texture formats (PNG, TIFF…) support transparency.
- Assets (images, 3D models, …) are loaded at startup from:
/User/_Global_/[subfolders]
Save Methods
- Shift+[#] (1, 2 or 3) - save current dataset scene and set it as a preset (#).
- Legacy presets are moved and transformed to the current dataset schema.
- K - for Save As File Dialog (prompts with default dataset name).
- eg. `/User/Prototypes/2024-01-31/proto-20240131T090341/’
- Can change the folder location and dataset name as preferred.
- Screenshot of current camera view is put in the base folder (with [dataset].bat).
- Subfolders are created for each asset type:
- eg.
/User/proto/2024-01-31/[dataset]/csv/[dataset]_node.csv
- *Note, shared assets in
/User/_Global_/[subfolders]
are not copied.
- Ctrl+K - saves a copy with ver number (or as proto if no active dataset).
- Alt+K or Alt+Shift+(1, 2 or 3) - Save only the currently selected glyphs.
- Note that branches will be saved as root objects with their local coordinates.
- [Save Selected] - Toolbar button will save selected items to a node table.
- L-click to save ONLY selected nodes (with relative local coordinates).
- R-click to save selected nodes with all sub-branches.
- F4 - Save Screenshot to the currently active (last used) dataset base folder.
- Shift+F4 - Screenshot saved with alpha transparency using RGBA TIFF.
