About Your User Manual

The user manual provides all the information you need to get the most out of Bryce. It will help you learn the application as well as serve as a reference as you attempt more sophisticated procedures and effects.

We assume you are already familiar with basic Macintosh and Windows concepts such as menus, dialogs, and mouse operations. If you need more information on these subjects, or on the Macintosh Finder or the Windows Desktop, refer to the Macintosh User's Manual or the Microsoft Windows User's Guide, respectively.

The best way to learn Bryce is by reading "Exploring the work area" and "Getting Started", and then completing the "Tutorial" on page 31. The tutorial leads you through the process of creating illustrations in Bryce and explains some of the important concepts you'll need to know.

Conventions

The Bryce User Manual and online Help are written for both Macintosh and Windows. By convention, Macintosh commands precede Windows commands in the text. For example, Command/Ctrl+I, is equivalent to the Macintosh Command-I and the Windows Ctrl+I. For simplicity, the term folder refers to directories as well as folders. Screenshots may alternate between the Macintosh and Windows versions. The Bryce interface for both platforms is identical, unless otherwise specified.

There are also several conventions used to identify paths to certain tools and controls. The convention used to tell you to access a command in a menu is menu name> menu item. The convention used to tell you to access an item on a palette is palette name: subpalette name or palette item. The convention used to tell you to access a palette menu item is palette name: palette menu> menu item.

Modifier Keys

When a modifier key differs between the Macintosh and Windows platforms, the Macintosh modifier is listed first followed by a slash and the Windows modifier key. Option/Alt means Macintosh users press the Option key and Windows users press Alt.
