Workspace and viewport

Reveal panels, focus the preview and select an editing surface.

Panels

View toggles Library, Settings, Bottom panel and Cyber AI chat. Collapsed panels retain edge controls to reopen them.

TimeLine, TreeLine and PerformanceLine select the bottom editing surface. Showtime switches to the show sequencer. Watch mode gives more space to the preview. In a small window, scroll the workspace horizontally or vertically to reach panels beyond the visible area. The menu bar stays at the top and the status bar stays at the bottom. Long status text has its own horizontal scrollbar. Scrolling changes the view without editing the particle. The workspace keeps the existing control sizes and Aero layout.

Inspect your effect

Show JSON paths exposes source paths beside settings. Each settings question-mark button opens field help with its current value and source location.

Cyber AI: the Log button right of Ask AI opens the agent diagnostics window. A live list of every message you send, every reply, every tool call with its arguments, every result, the cost of each reply and every state change (working, idle, halted), with the current state, provider, model and session cost in its header. It is its own window: drag it to another monitor. Follow keeps it scrolled to the newest entry; Copy all copies the whole list; Open log folder shows the same entries in the session log file. Clicking Log again brings the open window to the front.

Show gizmo toggles the transform gizmo. Shaded / Wire / Bounds opens the viewport display choices. Preview appearance controls do not replace particle authoring settings.

Window layouts

Window > Undock opens the bottom panel, Cyber AI or viewport in a separate window. Use Dock panel or close that window to return it to the workspace. Saved layouts include panel state and any combination of these detached panels.

Window > Save layout as opens Saved layouts. Enter a Name and click Save current. Leading and trailing spaces are removed; an empty name is rejected. Saving an existing name replaces that saved arrangement. Close leaves an unsubmitted name unapplied.

Click a saved layout name to restore it and close the dialog. Scroll the list to reach additional layouts. Edit > Undo and Redo restore the previous and loaded arrangements, including detached panels; saving a name itself is not a history edit.

Window > Reset layout restores default panel sizes, reveals collapsed panels and leaves Watch mode. It keeps the selected editing surface and current detached panels. Undo restores the prior arrangement. Layout operations do not edit particle JSON.
