Show Subchannels
Some elements, such as color elds, can also be displayed numerically.
Copy, Paste
Use these commands to copy values between parameters. Select the parameters whose values you
want to copy. Choose Copy. Next, select the parameters that should receive the copied values and
choose Paste.
Paste Identical
Suppose there are two cylinders in the scene. You select one of the cylinders, select its Radius and
Height parameters in the Attribute manager and choose Copy to copy the two values. If you then select
the other cylinder and choose Paste Identical, the two values will be pasted to the same parameters
— Height and Radius — regardless of which parameters are currently selected. This is in contrast to
the Paste command, which pastes to the selected parameters.
Select All, Deselect All
Select or deselect all parameters.
Edit Entry
If you’ve used the Attribute manager’s Add User Data command (User Data > Add User Data) to create
your own sliders or other GUI elements, use Edit Entry to edit these GUI elements. For example, you
can change the minimum and maximum values for sliders.
Remove Entry
To delete a slider or other GUI element that you’ve created, select the element and choose Remove
Entry.
Load Data, Save Data
The Save Data command enables you to save the values of the selected parameters. This is especially
useful for saving complex spline graphs.
To add a spline graph as user data, in the Attribute manager choose User Data > Add User Data and
in the dialog that opens, set Data Type to Spline and click OK. The spline graph appears below the
existing parameters.
