Tree | Skin Editor | Object2VR

Object2VR – Help

The tree supports a parent-child layering organization. An element treated as a parent will have a child or children that is/are “connected” to it, making it easier to group the elements and move them together in the Editor window. The layering of the elements is like Photoshop; the top most element is the front most layer.

Add an element

Do one of the following to add an element:

• Click on a tool in the toolbar and then click in the Editor. The new element is added to the top of the tree.
• Drop an image into the Editor (canvas). The element is added to the top of the tree.
• In the menu, go to Elements and choose the element type, then click in the editor. The new element is added to the top of the tree.

Each new element is automatically added to the top of the tree. Rearrange the elements by dragging them within the tree.
