Command Palette

Usage

  • Open (fresh start): Cmd+P on macOS, Ctrl+P on Windows/Linux. This clears any existing palette nesting and starts at the top level.
  • Open (resume): Cmd+Shift+P on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux. This reopens the palette with any existing nested state.
  • Type to filter; use Up/Down arrows to move selection.
  • Enter to run the selected command; Escape to close.
  • Backspace on an empty input returns to the previous page when available.

Create

  • Create Window: prompt for a title, then opens a new secondary window.
  • Create Viewport: add a viewport pane to the current container.
  • Create Graph: pick a component and create a graph pane for it.
  • Create Monitor: pick a component and create a component monitor pane.
  • Create Query Table: add an empty query table pane.
  • Create Query Plot: add an empty query plot pane.
  • Create Action: prompt for a name, then choose a send_msg preset or enter a custom Lua command to create an action pane.
  • Create Video Stream: prompt for the message name, then create a video stream pane.
  • Create Schematic Tree: add a schematic tree pane.
  • Create Data Overview: add a data overview pane.
  • Create 3D Object: prompt for an EQL expression, pick a mesh type (GLTF or primitives), then optionally enter dimensions and color.
  • Hierarchy and Inspector are built-in sidebars; they are always present and do not appear in the command palette.

Windows

  • Arrange Windows: reapply the automatic layout independently on each physical display. The primary window occupies the bottom two thirds when it shares a display with secondary windows; secondary windows share the top third. Displays with only secondary windows use the full available area. Configured display assignments are preserved. A display containing any explicitly configured window rectangle is left unchanged.

This uses the same layout as automatic window creation and can restore automatically placed windows after moving or resizing them manually.

Viewport

  • Toggle Wireframe: enable/disable global wireframe.
  • Toggle HDR: enable/disable HDR.
  • Toggle Grid: show/hide the infinite grid.
  • Reset Cameras: reset all viewports or pick a specific viewport to reset.

Skybox

  • Skybox...: submenu for skybox actions against assets/skyboxes/manifest.ron or $ELODIN_ASSETS/skyboxes/manifest.ron.
    • Generate Skybox...: prompt for a description, then choose a Blockade style and local cubemap resolution before generating the skybox, adding it to the manifest, and activating it.
    • Clear Skybox: shown when a skybox is active; removes it from viewports and sensor cameras and removes the top-level skybox node from the current schematic.
    • Revert to …: shown after AI generation replaced an active skybox.
    • Cached manifest entries: activate a preset skybox (name (active) marks the current one).

Selecting a cached skybox sets skybox name="..." on the current schematic and applies it immediately. Use Save Schematic or Save Schematic To DB to persist changes.

Skybox generation requires BLOCKADE_API_KEY in the editor environment. Generated cubemaps are resampled locally to the selected face size (4K is the default, 1024 px per face); Blockade always returns an ~8K equirect source, so higher local presets upscale rather than fetching a higher remote tier. Generated assets are written next to the manifest used by the editor.

Simulation

  • Toggle Recording: start/stop recording on the connected database.

Time

  • Set Playback Speed: pick a preset playback speed. The timeline SPEED label does the same thing; this entry is an alias.
  • Goto Tick...: jump to a specific tick (pauses playback).
  • Fix Current Time Range: lock the current selected range as fixed start/end.
  • Set Time Range: set start/end offsets using +, -, or = formats (e.g. +5m, -10s, =2023-01-01T00:00:00Z).

Presets

  • Save Schematic: save to the current schematic path (if set).
  • Save Schematic As...: save to a new schematic file name.
  • Save Schematic To DB: write the current schematic to DB metadata.
  • Load Schematic: load a schematic from the default directory or via a file dialog.
  • Clear Schematic: clear the current schematic.
  • Set Color Scheme Mode: switch between Dark/Light if the scheme supports it.
  • Set Color Scheme: select a color scheme preset.
