== Viewport UI ==

=== View ===

Switch between perspective and orthographic view

* The perspective view, allows to rotate the camera around
* All other views can only pan around:
** Top
** Bottom
** Front
** Back
** Right
** Left

=== Shading ===

Shading options are divided in two sections - '''Lighting''' and '''Channels'''.

It enables users to isolate each "pass" in viewport. Only one lighting and channel can be isolated at once.

By default, {{hl|ssr.emat}} and {{hl|hbao.emat}} are set.

{{Feature|informative|{{hl|hdr.emat}} (among others) can be added to have a render closer to what it is in-game.}}

==== Preset buttons ====

===== Save preset =====
This button will save the currently edited preset. If none is actually selected, it acts as pressing New preset.

===== New preset =====
Create a new preset to be used in

{{Feature|informative|
For now, a created preset '''cannot''' be renamed nor deleted from the interface.<br>

'''Files''' (.pre) are created in the profile directory, in the {{hl|ResourceViewerPresets}} sub-directory and can be renamed/deleted there.
}}

=== Compass ===

The "compass" is a 3D representation of the camera's point of view.

Its sections can be clicked to make the camera "face" and centre the chosen section.

== Details Tab ==

=== Materials ===

Materials (.emat) are surface information that can be applied on models.

{{Feature|informative|See also [[Arma_Reforger:Resource Manager: Material Editor|Resource Manager: Material Editor]].}}

This tab allows to:

* Browse through model's materials
* Click on them to highlight them with wireframe overlay in viewport
* Click on the icon of material to edit it while observing change directly on model
* Isolate material to see just part of the mesh which uses it

=== LODs ===

A LOD (Level Of Detail) is a version of a 3D model that is more or less detailed in order to save resources according to e.g its distance from the camera's point of view. For more information, see Level of detail Wikipedia page.

This tab allows to:

* Browse through LODs, look at their statistics (number vertices, faces, materials, meshes)
* Force to show only specific LOD if you click on LOD X tab
* Check out specific meshes in each LOD (they will be highlighted in viewport with wireframe overlay) and view UVs for each mesh

==== Force selected LOD to render ====
Enable the selected LOD to render in the viewport.

==== Unselect LOD ====
Deselect the currently selected LOD.

By default, LOD 0 will be the one displayed.

=== Colliders ===

A collider is a very simple 3D shape that provides collision information to the physics engine. See also Collider Wiktionary page.

==== Options ====

===== Hide mesh =====
Hide the object's mesh when colliders are shown (e.g with "Filter colliders" selected).

===== Show center of mass =====

===== Show collider outlines =====

===== Transparent colliders =====

===== High contrast background =====

===== Filter colliders =====

===== Show invalid shapes =====

==== Layers ====

==== Center of mass ====

==== Vertices ====

==== Faces ====

==== Colliders ====
Browse through colliders and list their statistics:

* Type
* Material
* (Relative) Coordinates
* Angles
* Vertices
* Faces
* LayerPreset
* Interaction layers

=== Occluders ===

{{Feature|informative|An occluder is a virtual plane shape meant to hide (occlude) objects behind it to save on processing/drawing cycles. Its geometry is kept simple for the calculations to remain efficient.}}

This tab allows to:

* Project or show all occluders at once or separately by selecting them in the list
* See their type, number of vertices and coordinates with bounds

==== Project all occluders ====

==== Show all occluders ====

=== Land Contacts ===

Land Contacts are points in model (dummies, empties) which are positioned on place where model should snap to the ground.

It is mostly used on fences, walls, etc.

They are marked in viewport as horizontally placed green circles.

=== Bones ===

* Viewing bones, moving bones around (translation, rotation)
* Hierarchy
* Difference between bone and empty
* Link to "general" animations docu, where there should be more info

=== Runtime Details ===

In here, you can see various information about model:

* Current LOD
* Number of Faces
* Number of Vertices
* Number of Landcontacts
* Approximate size (in meter)
* Allocated VB (Video B… uffer?
* Number of materials
* Number of textures
* Total textures size (on the disk)
* Volume info (grid usage)
* Surface, Triangle and Indices information from under the cursor (when on model)

== Import Settings Tab ==

Each tab represents the import option for the related platform.

=== General ===

==== Present ====
Whether the resource will be imported and available in data.

==== Source File ====
Can be used to override source file to any compatible file (model) in folder.

==== Common ====
Common parameters which can be shared via config file (for the file type).

=== Miscellaneous ===

==== Merge Meshes ====
Importer will merge visual meshes in each LOD.

==== Export Skinning ====
Imports skinning (if any is present in source file).

==== Export Scene Hierarchy ====
Imports scene hierarchy (if any is present in source file).

Usable for e.g. dummies (empties, locators), which are then used as sockets, or just general position info.

==== Modify material names ====
Switches "_" to "/" in material name upon import.

==== Legacy Support ====
Import resource with legacy (enforce) rules.

=== Transform ===

User can scale, offset and rotate model directly on import.

=== Visual ===

==== Remove LODs ====
Removes LODs, from the lowest.

==== No Optimize ====
Skips topology optimalization.

==== Material Assigns ====
Materials can be reassigned to different ones per platform.

=== Physics ===

==== Merge Tri Meshes ====
Imported will merge all trimeshes to least amount possible.

==== Phys Material Assigns ====
Obsolete, should not be present.

==== Geometry Params ====
Layer Preset, Surface Properties, Mass and Margin can be set for each collider.

==== COM Autocenter ====
Autocenters the center of mass (to the volume center of the object).
