Description List:
- The collection that XGen is currently set to. Switching a collection here will also switch the XGen UI.
Source Description:
- The description that XGen is currently set to. Switching a description here will also switch the XGen UI.
Remove Tab
Select other description(s), if parameter(s) exist:
- Turning this on will automatically select descriptions that contain the current selected shading parameters.
Remove Selected :
- Removes the selected shading parameters. If the same parameter exist in other descriptions, and if you want to remove them as well, make sure the other descriptions are also selected to remove them all.
Remove All From Current :
- Removes all custom shading parameters from the 'current' description.
Remove All From All :
- Wipes all custom shading parameters from all descriptions in the current collection.
Copy Tab
Select other description(s), if parameter(s) does NOT exist:
- Turning this on will automatically select descriptions that DOES NOT contain the current selected shading parameters.
Copy Selected:
- Copies selected parameter(s) from current description to the selected description(s).
Copy Selected To All:
- Copies selected parameter(s) from current description to ALL descriptions in the current collection.
Copy All To All:
- Copies ALL parameters from the current description to ALL descriptions in the current collection.
Overwrite if parameter exists:
- When on, and if parameter exists in the other descriptions, the copying operation will automatically overwrites the parameter values in the other descriptions. When off, a warning will appear and you will have a choice to overwrite or not.
Create Tab
Name:
- The name of the parameter you want to create.
Expr Editor:
- the XGen expression editor, to enter your expression for the new parameter you are about to create.

XGen Attribute/Modifier Tool
A Tool to match attributes, or modifier attributes from current description to other descriptions.
In order to match attribute(s) from the Primitives tab or the Preview/Output tab, the target XGen descriptions need to have matching 'Generator Method' and 'Primitive Type' to the source description. For example, if a source description "des_A" is using 'Randomly across the surface', and "des_B" is using 'In uniform rows and columns', attributes can not be matched. In this case, "des_B" is not compatible and will not be listed. Or, if a source description "des_A" is using "Spline" as Primitive Type, and "des_B" is using "Card", attributes can not be matched. In this case, "des_B" is also not compatible and will not be listed. |
