How do I update the project properties?

It’s easy to set up your project settings in the Welcome Screen, but occasionally you may need to update the properties while you are working on a project. The following steps will show you how to easily update the project properties.

Step 1: Open the Project Properties dialog box

1. In the top menu, select Storyboard > Properties...
2. The Project Properties dialog box will open:

3. Select the tabs at the top to adjust your scene settings. Each tab contains properties related to the following:
   • Settings tab: Project titles, start time, field size and chart, 3D scale factor and colour space.
   • Project Resolution tab: Screen size, frame rate and field of view.
   • Layer Resolution tab: Bitmap layer resolution and vector pixel density.
   • Naming tab: Sequence, Scene and Panel naming conventions. Any changes made here will only affect the current project.
   • Effects tab: Settings for the Toon Shader that only affect the current project. 
   • Advanced tab: Compact save file options.

For more information on property specifics, see Project Properties Dialog Box.

4. Click OK when done.

Q&A

Question:

I’ve updated the properties, but don’t see any notable difference?

Answers:

1. Make sure you have clicked OK to close the Project Properties dialog and save the changes. If you close the window using the x or the cancel button, it will not apply the settings. 
2. Reopen the Project Properties dialog and double check that the settings you changed have the values you applied and not the default setting values.

Question:

I’d like to use these settings again. Is it possible to create a preset?

Answer:

Only for the Project Resolution tab where you can simply hit the Save button to create a new preset.
