Diagram Display Operations

See Fusion Editor UI for basic operations related to the diagrams displayed within Fusion panel.


Adding a Fusion node

Is the term "Fusion Node" correct? Since the name of the dialog panel that appears after dragging a connector is "Choose Behavior", I want to make sure this point.

New fusion nodes can be added to any fusion node by the following operations. The added Fusion nodes are connected via links from connectors.

  • Use a connector
    1. Drag a connector of any Fusion node and move a mouse.
    2. A link will appear following a mouse operation, and release a mouse button anywhere.
    3. The "Select Fusion Node" dialog box will appear, so select Fusion node you need to add.

  • Use Fusion Nodes of Toolbox
    1. Select any Fusion node from the Toolbox panel of Scene Composer.
    2. Drag and drop the selected Fusion node into Fusion panel.
    3. It will be placed on a diagram as a Floating node.
    4. Drag the connector of the added floating node and connect it to available fusion nodes.

The question is if "floating nodes" be implemented in CGI 3.12?

Basically, each Fusion node is configured with Top node as the root node. A Floating node is a fusion node that is configured in a form that is not connected to Top node. The configured floating node can also be connected to a Fusion node configured from Top node if necessary.

Fusion Node collapsing and expanding

Each Fusion Node has an expand/collapse button at the upper right corner. Clicking it will toggle between collapsing and expanding the node.

Moving Fusion nodes

Drag a Fusion node to move it to any location in Fusion panel. If multiple fusion nodes are selected by either of the following operations, all Fusion nodes will be moved.

  • Ctrl-click to select multiple fusion nodes.
  • Selecte multiple Fusion nodes with a rectangular selection after dragging with a mouse left button.

Copy and Paste a Fusion node

A Selected Node can be copied by pressing Ctrl + C. A copied Node can be pasted by pressing Ctrl + V. If multiple fusion nodes are selected by either of the following operations, all Fusion nodes will be copied.

  • Ctrl-click to select multiple fusion nodes.
  • Selecte multiple Fusion nodes with a rectangular selection after dragging with a mouse left button.

Delete a Fusion node

Fusion nodes can be deleted by selecting a fusion node to be deleted and pressing Delete button on a keyboard. If other Fusion nodes are connected to the selected Fusion node, those Fusion nodes will be deleted at the same time.


If a connection between Fusion nodes are enabled, you can drag a connector to connect a link to another Fusion node.


By right-clicking on a connector of Fusion node, delete a link already connected. If a connector is connected to multiple links, all links will be deleted.


Undo/Redo operation

Undo/Redo operations can be performed by using the Undo/Redo icon in the toolbar. And, keyboard shortcut keys of Undo/Redo is also supported.
