Nodes Editor

Basics

Nodes Editor is the place where you can design a parametric schema. A parametric schema is made of nodes and connections between nodes. A node is made of input sockets, input fields and output sockets.

To add a node: click on an icon in toolbar inside Nodes Editor window. Node is stuck to mouse. Move mouse at desired position for node. Click again to unstick node from mouse.

To connect two nodes: click on an output socket of first node then click on an input socket of second node. Only sockets of same type are connectable. Hint: hover a socket if you are not sure about its type.

To move a node: drag and drop node at desired position.

To move several nodes at once: hold CTRL key then click on each node. Nodes are selected. Hold again CTRL key then drag and drop nodes at desired position.

If you input a wrong data in a node field: node border becomes red.

To remove a node: right click on node then click on "Remove this node".

Right click in void to discover yourself other possible actions such as "Import schema from a file", "Freeze parametric entities", "Export schema to a file", etc.
