Customizing Your Workspace

If you have used 3D applications in the past, you may notice that Katana’s workspace has many familiar features, such as a timeline, a hierarchical Scene Graph tab, an OpenGL viewer, and a 2D monitor.

You can create layouts designed for whatever function you happen to be performing. For instance: lighting, look development, or material editing. You can then save your preferred layouts for future use.

During the customization process, you can:

• Resize panes to create space where it’s most needed.

• Maximize the pane under the mouse cursor.

• Move and split panes to create new work areas, for example, to have two Viewers side-by-side.

• Remove panes and all tabs nested inside them.

• Add and remove tabs as required.

• Move tabs to easily access the elements you often need.

• Float and nest tabs to create more space or group similar functions together in the same pane.

• Add a Timebar to the main Katana window or any tab.

• Make the main Katana window fullscreen, hiding the window borders.

Once you are happy with the layout, you can save it for future use.
