You need to select a Product in either [[ig.creator:products|Products]] or [[ig.creator:assets:commercial|Assets/Commercial]] to enter this page. If no Product is selected, you will be re-directed automatically.

===== Geometries Overview =====

On this page a geometry can be assigned to a node. Each node can only hold one geometry.
If multiple geometries are needed, create a node structure.\\
The table shown below holds the following information read from left to right. \\
The values can be edited by clicking the __Edit__ button at the end of each line.

:!: Keep in mind, the layout will change during editing. Check the labels next to each area while filling the areas.

==== Path ====
A list of all available nodes with their specific geometrical properties.

==== Description ====
The description of each node

==== Geometry ====
Choose a geometry from the list provided by the drop-down menu, type in a specific name or choose a geometry via a JavaScript snippet.

|Geometry {}: Geometry_Lth |Set a fix value|
|Geometry {}: {'Geometry_' + ComCoverType} |Simple JavaScript expression using a Commercial property|
|Geometry {}: {$c.getGeometryByType()} |JavaScript expression using a function from the Context|

Make sure the geometries are provided under the Assets/Geometries page

==== Scale ====
Each geometry can change its scale. Keep in mind, the default scale is **1**.\\
:!: Scaling factors lower than 0 will not mirror the geometry, they are reserved for deformations. (together with a deformation interactor) In this case, only one axis is used, the others will be set to 1.0.

A scaling factor of -1 represents an animation state of 100%. \\
A scaling factor of -0.123 represents an animation state of 12.3%

Scaling factors can be assigned through a number or a JavaScript snipped:

|Scale X {} = 1.0: 1.5 |Set a fix value|
|Scale X {} = 1.0: {1/ComSeatHeight} |Simple JavaScript expression using a Commercial property|
|Scale X {} = 1.0: {$c.getGeometryScale()} |JavaScript expression using a function from the Context|

:!: Setting a scaling factor will influence a child node as well, even if the child node's scale shows 1.

==== Layer ====
Each node can be assigned to a Layer. The Layers give an extra option to filter for nodes.
