Inspector¶
The Inspector is contextual — it shows the settings for whatever is selected in the Outliner, and swaps its whole layout for an art layer, a structural node, or a raster.
Selecting a vector art layer shows, top to bottom:
- Subartlayers — the track stack for this art layer (multi-pass).
- Art Layer & Sequence — which art layer, the sequence file(s), and the Scale / Offset that ride on the art layer's vector.
- Stroke Thickness — Max / Min width, Pressure Detail, Simplify, Relax, Corners, plus Closed/filled, Merge split lines, and Line color.
- Tip Taper — shape the stroke ends only.
Selecting a peg, group, or composite shows that node's name, its structural flags, and — for a peg — its transform (3D path, pivot, scale/position). This is where the pieces of your node hierarchy are configured.
A raster slot swaps in the content type choice (bitmap vs vectorize) and the trace controls — Detail, Colours, Cleanup, Corners, Smoothing, background handling, and the trace mode.
The cards¶
Each card collapses with the little ▾ so you can focus on one group at a time. The cards you'll use most:
| Card | What it does |
|---|---|
| Subartlayers | the track stack — add / reorder / remove passes on this art layer |
| Art Layer & Sequence | pick the art layer, the sequence, and the art-layer Scale/Offset |
| Stroke Thickness | the whole width + cleanup model for vector line art |
| Tip Taper | non-destructive shaping of the free stroke ends |
| Trace (raster) | Potrace mode + parameters |
Per-subartlayer settings
Thickness, taper, merge, and the transform are stored per track, so two passes on the same Line Art layer can have different width, taper, or scale.
