User Manual

Customizing the Inspector
You can customize how the Inspector is presented in a variety of ways.
Inspector Height
A small arrow button at the far right of the UI toolbar lets you toggle the Inspector between
full-height and half-height views, depending on how much room you need for
editing parameters.
The Maximize button on the left side of the Inspector.
In maximized height mode, the Inspector takes up up the entire right side of the UI, letting you
see every control that a node has available, or creating enough room to see the parameters of
two or three pinned nodes all at once. In half-height mode, the top of the Inspector is aligned
with the tops of the viewers, expanding the horizontal space that’s available for the Node Editor.
Inspector Display Preferences
By default, you see only selected nodes in the Inspector, and only the Active node is expanded
to show its controls. You can change this behavior by choosing Fusion > Fusion Settings in the
Fusion page or File > Preferences in Fusion Studio and opening the User Interface panel. In the
User Interface, checkboxes manage the display of controls.
Control preferences in the User Interface category.
 Auto Control Open: When enabled (the default), whichever node is active automatically
opens its controls in the Inspector. When disabled, selecting an active node opens that
node’s Inspector header in the Inspector, but the parameters remain hidden unless you
click the Inspector header.
 Auto Control Hide: When enabled (the default), only selected nodes are visible in the
Inspector, and all deselected nodes are automatically removed from the Inspector
to reduce clutter. When disabled, parameters from selected nodes remain in the
Inspector, even when those nodes are deselected, so that the Inspector accumulates
the parameters of every node you select over time.
