Graphics Editor

 

The Graphics Editor allows the user to modify various properties of a graphic depending on the graphic option. For DIRTT Patterns, DIRTT Patterns (Customized), and Custom Patterns, only the position may be modified within the Graphics Editor. For DIRTT Stone, only the position and rotation can be modified with the Graphics Editor. For Custom Images and Custom Stone, the scale, position, and rotation may be modified within the Graphics Editor. The scale and rotation of DIRTT Patterns and Custom Patterns can be modified within the Custom Library.

Note that modifying the properties of a DIRTT Pattern automatically creates a DIRTT Pattern (Customized).

For more information on editing graphics within Custom Libraries, see Specifying a Custom Finish.
