Customize
You can customize MAGIX 3D Maker by either changing the default graphic or by docking or
undocking dialog boxes or toolbars.
With the Window
menu item "Customize..." you can you can add icons to a menu or the standard toolbar, customize the
right click menus available in the main working area and even create you own custom menu. You can
also chnage the keyboard shortcuts there.
Note: if you experience a problem with your windows or toolbars at any time, or wish to return them to
their standard layout, click the Wndow menu then select Reset user interface
.
Changing the default template
If you want MAGIX 3D Maker to start-up showing a different image:
1.
Create the image you want to use as the starting (default) image.
2.
Choose Save as default on the File menu.
To restore the original default document, delete Default.x3d in the system folder. This is in the same
folder as where you installed MAGIX 3D Maker.
Docking and undocking dialog- boxes and toolbars
To give you freedom in how you use the program, you can undock and move toolbars and windows and
position them where you wish. This is particularly useful if you have two monitors, so you could for
example put your windows on one screen and keep the other monitor dedicated to the MAGIX 3D
Maker workspace.
Moving toolbars
There are five toolbars: standard, design, options, text and time line. You can turn these on and off via
the Window
menu.
You can drag them around the screen by clicking and holding them (see the image above) and dragging.
If you drag a toolbar to an edge of the program it will dock there. You can also just drag the toolbar out
elsewhere on the screen, and it will undock entirely.
Option bars
The option bars can be found to the right of the screen when you first start MAGIX 3D Maker. Rather
than opening and closing endless windows, most of MAGIX 3D Maker's settings are contained here.
You can easily switch between the tabs to access the different features.
You can turn this entire panel off or on via the window menu. You can also tailor how you use them as
follows:
To undock an option bar.
Just click and drag one of the options (where it says color options, extrusion options etc.) out of its
current location. The window will undock, and you can position where you require. You can do this with
as many of the windows as you wish.
