2D Placement

2D Renderer  -  Define a placement in 2D space

The placement of a 2D Layer can be specified in different ways depending on the type of placement that is selected. By default, 2D Layer uses the Parametric , which is defined through position, scale and rotation parameters.

Edition of placements in the visualizer

Although placements can be edited in the Parameters Editor , it is often convenient to manipulate them in the Viewport .

By default, the visualizer is in the Translate Mode that enables moving, rescaling and rotating all types of placements. For this, click on the layer, on one of its sides or one of its corners and drag it:

For the placements based on control points such as Perspective or Bezier , the Edit Mode makes it possible to edit each point individually.

First, activate Edit Mode in the Viewport toolbar, and then drag the points with the mouse or move them by using the arrow keys on your PC keyboard:

Here is an example of Bezier placement edition:

Note that it is possible to select multiple points and to moved them as a group.

For precise edition, use the arrows of the keyboard in combination with [SHIFT] (10 times more precise) or [CTRL] + [SHIFT] (100 times more precise).
