Position

 

Position defines a collection of one or more Surfaces. It typically aligns with the working role of an individual, such as Vision Mixer, Graphics, or Shader. Each Position can be tagged for better organization. To create a new Position, click the +Create button at the top of the left pane.
A dialog box will appear, prompting you to enter a label for the Position. It's a good idea to plan your naming conventions beforehand to maintain a logical and consistent system. You can also create Positions when configuring your Surfaces.

Click Create Position, and the Position Editor window will open.

The Position Editor window consists of three panes:

To gain more space for editing in the position view, you can minimize the left pane.

Here, you can change the name, add a description for the Position, and assign Surfaces to it.

Click Assign Surface and select the desired Surface.

The selected Surface will appear in the Canvas in the Configuration tab. A corresponding outline will also display in the center pane Canvas, showing the part of the Canvas covered by the Surface. You can move the Surface to your preferred position on the Canvas by dragging it in the configuration window. let's add another Surface.

Now, there are two Surfaces assigned to the Position. The outlines correspond to the button layouts of the assigned Surfaces:

You can combine Surfaces freely within the same Canvas. You can move surfaces around from the Configuration window, by clicking on a surface and dragging it to a new position. Overlapping parts of Surfaces will display shared buttons on both.

The definition of the variables are shared between all positions, while each position has its own current and initial value, independently of each other.

The values can also be used by any shared section used in a position, and will get the value from the position they are mounted on.

Click inside any rectangle on the Canvas; its outline will become dashed, indicating it's selected. Right-click to open the context menu. From here, you can create a Button, Section, Shift Section, Folder Section, Popover, Router or Shared Section. The Paste and Clear Selection options are self-explanatory, but the other features will be explained further.

Click on Button. or you could simply press B instead of right clicking and selecting from the context menu.
You have now created a Button.

To optimize your workspace, you can move the Inspector pane from the side pane to the bottom of the screen. This setting provides more real estate for making multiple edits without excessive navigation.
