Working with Nodes |
A structure is made of a series of nodes that are connected together. These nodes are shown as boxes with little "nibs" at the top and bottom, and lines that are drawn between boxes connect the output of one node to the input of another.
To add a node to the structure:
1. Make sure that the structure is shown. Click on the structure table of the details panel to show the Node Browser (or select Window > Show Node Browser). 2. Click on the node in the Node Browser, and then click the "Add To Structure" button |
If you have a node already selected in structure panel, you can add the node relative to that selected node
1. To replace the node with the new one (leaving as many of the connections intact as possible), click the "Replace" button. 2. To insert the new node before selected node (causing the outputs of the new node to be connected to the input of the selected node), click the "Insert Before" button. 3. To insert the new node after the selected node (causing the outputs of the selected node to be connected to the inputs of the new node), click the "Insert After" button. 4. To insert the new node with the same inputs as the selected node, click the "Insert Split" button. |
You can also use drag and drop to add a node to the structure. By dragging the node from the node browser and dropping it on the structure panel:
1. Dropping it on an existing node will replace that node. 2. Dropping at the top edge of an existing node will insert it before that node. 3. Dropping it at the bottom edge of an existing node will insert it after that node. 4. Dropping it on the left edge of an existing node will insert it as a split of that node. 5. Otherwise, dropping anywhere else will just add it to the structure, unconnected. |
