Tabs

Global States

There is a collection of states, not user-defined, that can be used in the tabs, which are relatively self-explanatory. For example, the “!Next” state changes to the next state within that variant when the hotkey is pressed. Some states are not available in all contexts.

• !All - Shows all objects in the switch list. (Only usable in combination with a Geometry Switch).

• !None - Hides all objects in the switch list. (Only available in combination with a Geometry Switch).

• !Next / !Next (Loop) - Activates the next object in the switch list and stops when the last object is reached. !Next (Loop) is similar to !Next, however, it returns to the beginning of the list after the last object is selected.

• !Previous / !Previous (Loop) - Operates in the same principle as the !Next/!Next (Loop) options, just in reverse.

• !Enable / !Disable / !Toggle - Enables or disables the variant set-contained lights in the scene. !Toggle switches the related variant to the opposite state.
