Editing Common Parameters

When you have selected multiple operators in the Network pane, it is possible to edit parameters that are common to the selection. These edits can include the setting of a parameter value, turning on or off a checkbox, or the creation of an expression. You can also set keyframes on common parameters


Feedback

To edit common parameters, select two or more operator nodes in the Network pane. In the Parameter Controls found at the top of the Parameter pane, yellow text appears to indicate how many operator nodes have been selected. There is a also a star icon which can be used to deselect all of the operators except for the visible one. You can also choose which operator will be visible in the Parameter pane by selecting from the menu on the right side of the Parameter Controls.


Editing Values

There are two ways to edit common parameter values. When multiple nodes are selected you can click in the parameter field and enter a new value. This value will now be used by all of the selected operators that share the chosen parameter.

You can also MMB-click in a parameter field to call up a Value grid. Any changes you make with the value grid are relative to the values in each of the operators. For example, you could select a few objects with different translate X values then use the value grid to move all of them along X by 2 units without altering their relative positions.


Entering Expressions

When you enter an expression in a parameter field, it will be entered for all the common parameters based on your current selection.


Set Keyframes

When you have multiple operators selected, you can Alt-click on a parameter name or a parameter field to keyframe the parameter for all the selected nodes.
