Editing Paint Strokes
Once you’ve painted using the Stroke or Polyline stroke type, you can change the look of the
stroke by selecting it and updating the parameters in the Inspector. Selecting the stroke
requires you to switch to the selection tool in the Paint toolbar above the viewer. Using the Paint
node’s selection tool, you can either click once on a stroke or drag a bounding box around a
stroke to select it for editing.
TIP: To select multiple strokes, you can Shift-click or Command-click to select and deselect
multiple specific strokes, or you can drag a selection box around all strokes you want to select.
The Stroke or Polyline Stroke type can be edited
by selecting the stroke in the viewer.
Although you can make changes in the Tools tab in the Inspector, the Paint node uses both the
Tools tab and the Modifiers tab. In the Tools tab, you can create new brush strokes and select a
stroke in the viewer to edit. The Modifiers tab presents a list of all the strokes for the selected
Paint node, which makes it easy to modify any previously created paint stroke.
NOTE: Multistroke and Clone Multistroke each only appear as one item in the
Modifiers tab no matter how many strokes you create using those tools. Those two
tools are not editable after creating them.
The same controls you used in the Tools tab to create the strokes are located in the Modifier’s
tab to modify them. You can also animate each individual stroke.
