Context Menus

UnigineEditor has context menus to facilitate various operations. In addition to commonly used operations, such as Delete, Cut, Copy, Paste, Rename, Clear, Open, there are specific operations that depend on the window or parameter.

Asset Browser#

Operations of the Asset Browser window context menu:

Edit Graph Opens the material graph editor to edit the selected graph.
Import New Asset Import a selected file as a project asset.
Create Folder Create a new folder.
Create Material Create a new Material Graph or Subgraph or inherit a child from any of the base materials available in the Materials Hierarchy.
Create Code Create a new shader, property, C# component, base material, or UnigineScript file.
Create Landscape Layer Map Create a new landscape layer map.
Create World Create a new world.
Create Mount Point Create a new mount point.
Place as Node Reference Create a Node Reference by placing a selected *.node asset in the scene.
Place as Node Layer Create a Node Layer by placing a selected *.node asset in the scene.
Place as Node Content Create a node by placing a selected *.node asset, which can be any node type or a hierarchy of nodes, in the scene.
Create Child Create a child asset. Available for materials and properties.
Convert To Unique Graph Convert a selected material to a unique material graph file.
Reimport

Reimport a previously imported file. Used to implement updates that have been performed in a source file after the import.

Notice
If you reimport an FBX that is referenced by a Node Reference, check that the Node Reference has been created correctly. Otherwise, all your modifications will be lost after the reimport.
Export As Package Export a selected file as a UNIGINE package file.
Convert To Converts a selected texture file to a specified format.
Open Display the content of a geometry container.
Show in Explorer Show a selected file in Explorer.
Show Runtime in Explorer Show the runtime file of a selected file in Explorer.
Show Assets Using This One List all assets (materials, textures, .fbx files, properties, etc.) that use the currently selected asset (or assets).
Show World Nodes Using This One List all world nodes that use the currently selected asset (or assets).
Show Assets Used List all assets (materials, textures, .fbx files, properties, etc.) that are used in the currently selected asset (or assets).
Replace Asset Links Replace all references to the right-clicked asset with references to the asset selected via the window that opens.
Batch Rename Change the names of multiple objects according to the selected rule.
Add to Favorites Add the selected asset, folder, or search request to the favorites folder, which is accessible via the Hierarchy View of the Asset Browser.
Remove from Favorites Remove the selected asset, folder, or search request from the favorites folder, which is accessible via the Hierarchy View of the Asset Browser.

World Hierarchy#

Operations of the World Nodes window context menu:

Select Child Nodes Select all child nodes of a node without selecting the parent node itself. Available for parent nodes.
Focus Make the scene camera focus on the node.
Move to Camera Move the selected node into the scene camera's focus.
Create a Node Reference Create a Node Reference of a selected node and store it in the current folder of the Asset Browser.
Create Mesh Create a mesh of a selected node and store it in the current folder of the Asset Browser.
Create FBX Create an *.fbx file of a selected node and store it in the current folder of the Asset Browser.
Create Mesh Clusters from Hierarchy Create a Mesh Cluster(s) from a selected hierarchy.
Group Create a Dummy Node and make selected nodes its child nodes.
Make Parent Select a group of nodes and make a right-clicked node a parent of the group.
Unparent Detach a node from its parent. A detached node is placed at the same level as the former parent.
Clone Clone a selected node.

Materials Hierarchy, Properties Hierarchy#

Context menus of the Materials Hierarchy and Properties Hierarchy windows are identical. In addition to the options available in Asset Browser, they contain the following options:

Create Clone Clone an asset.
Show Asset Show an asset in the Asset Browser.
Rename Rename an asset.
Delete Permanently delete an asset from the hierarchy and the asset folder. This action cannot be undone.

Viewport Window#

The Viewport Window has two context menus depending on where you click: if you click a node, the context menu is the same as in the World Nodes window, clicking outside any node (or Shift+Right click) opens the Create menu.

Parameters Tab#

The Parameters Tab has several types of context menu depending on the parameter's type.

Spinbox context menu#

The context menu of spinboxes contains the following operations:

Step up Add one (+1) to the current value. This operation can be also performed by scrolling, when the cursor is in the spinbox. Scrolling while holding the Ctrl key pressed adds 10 each step.
Step down Subtract one (-1) from the current value. This operation can be also performed by scrolling, when the cursor is in the spinbox. Scrolling while holding the Ctrl key pressed subtracts 10 each step.
Maths

A list of math operations:

  • Add — add an entered value to the current value.
  • Subtract — subtract an entered value from the current value.
  • Multiply — multiply the current value by an entered value.
  • Divide — divide the current value by an entered value.
  • Round To — round to a multiple of a specified value entered by a user. This math operation can be used to avoid the accumulation of rounding errors. A rounded value is calculated as follows:

    1. Current Value / Entered Value = Real Number.
    2. Real Number is transformed to Natural Number by cutting off any digits after the decimal point.
    3. Natural Number * Entered Value = Rounded Value.

Properties context menu#

The context menu of node and surface properties is displayed by clicking right to the property field and contains the following operations:

Copy Values Copy values of all parameters of a property.
Paste Values Paste values to all destination parameters that have the same name and type as the parameters of the copied property.
Move Up Move a property one line up in the list of properties.
Move Down Move a property one line down in the list of properties.
Reset Set all property values to default.

Surface context menu#

The surface context menu is displayed by clicking in the top-right corner of the surfaces section and contains the following operations that facilitate the copy/paste procedure:

Copy Parameters Copy parameters of selected surfaces.
Paste Parameters Sequentially Paste parameters copied from source surfaces to destination surfaces in the order they appear in the hierarchy.
Paste Parameters By Surface Names Paste copied parameters if their surface names are the same as destination surface names.
