Connections
Remove All
This command deletes the connections (i.e. wires) of the selected nodes and XGroups.
Ports
Remove Unused
Proceed with caution when using this command — it deletes all unconnected
ports, including any that may be in use and receiving values from the Attribute
manager.
This command deletes all ports that are not connected to the selected node(s) and/or XGroup(s).
To delete ports individually, choose Delete Ports from the port’s context menu, or double-click each
unconnected port that you want to delete.
Show Names
Some types of node display either port names or other information depending
on whether Show Names is enabled. For example, a Result node can display
either the port names or the value of its Input port, but not both at the same
time.
If this option is enabled, the names of ports are displayed in the selected nodes and XGroups.
Delete
This command deletes the selected nodes and XGroups, including their wires.
Rename
Renaming elements helps to distinguish between individual nodes and
XGroups, though keep in mind that the default name indicates the element’s
type. If you’ve renamed a node and want to check its type, select the node
and the type will be shown in the Attribute manager.
To rename a node or XGroup, choose this command and enter the new name into the dialog that
opens. You can also rename nodes and XGroups using the Attribute manager.
