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.
