Managing Object Sets - Adobe ATMOSPHERE User Manual

The Paint Presets palette loaded with wood textures.
Importing Object Presets
Models, scripts and Viewpoint Objects can also be loaded into the Object Presets palette using the palette menu. The
difference between the File > Import menu and the Object Presets palette menu is that fi les added via the Presets
menu will stay in the Presets palette as icons and can more easily be placed multiple times in a scene.
If you plan on using an imported object more than once, add it to the Object Presets palette.
The Object Presets palette can hold models, scripts and Viewpoint Objects.

Each object type has a different icon.

Managing Object Sets

It is easier to navigate large collections of textures and objects if they are grouped into Sets. Textures, for example, are
easier to fi nd if they are grouped under categories like wood, metal, grass etc. Grouping can also be done per project,
or in any other manner the user desires.
In the Paint and Object Presets palette menus, you can select the Manage Sets menu command to create categories
called Sets. This command will open the Manage Preset Sets dialog box. In this dialog box, you can create a New set,
and Edit or Delete an existing set. Each set will have a name and a folder where its presets are located. These new sets
will appear in the Set drop-down list at the top of the corresponding Preset palette along with their fi le path.
