Workspace

Updated: 08/17/2023

In the editor, you switch between workspaces as you create models and animations.
By default, there are separate workspaces dedicated to the creation of [Modeling], [Animation], and [Form Animation].
You can freely construct the work environment by replacing pallets.

Workspace

Modeling Workspace

This is the workspace used for modeling.
Used to transform objects and create keyforms.

Animation Workspace

This is the workspace used for creating animations.
Used to create scenes and keyframe motion on the timeline.

Form Animation (FA) Workspace

This is the workspace used for creating form animations.
Form animation is a feature that allows you to edit shapes (forms) directly on the timeline without affecting the model data.

See the “About Form Animation (FA)” page for details.

Switch Workspaces

The currently used workspace is displayed in the upper left corner of the editor.
Selecting each item switches the workspace.

The workspace also switches automatically when you select a tab.

If you do not want to switch automatically, configure the following setting.
Open the [File] menu -> [Environment settings].
Under [Window], clear the [Automatically switch workspaces based on tab selection] check box.
Note: Checked by default
For more information on environment settings, see “Environment settings.”

Custom Workspace

Custom Workspace is a feature that allows users to create and save their own workspaces.
The Custom Workspace you create can also be set as a destination for automatic switching when selecting tabs.

Create a Workspace

Users can switch to a Custom Workspace from the toolbar or menu in the same way as workspaces registered as presets.
Information about moving or resizing the palette is saved in the selected workspace.

Add/Delete Workspaces

Workspaces can be added/deleted in the Workspace Settings dialog box.
This dialog box can be accessed from the [Window] menu -> [Workspace] -> [Workspace Settings].
