You can create a reference to behaviors available in the solution. For more information about this operation, see Behaviors: Deep Copy/Paste Operation. A reference icon appears in the upper top-left corner of the Fusion node that corresponding to that reference behavior. This icon is identical to the sameone icon that appearsdisplayed for the behavior in the Extra ScenesScene tree. Click thisthe reference icon to navigate directly to the referenced Fusion node.

Creating a Fusion Group

Moving Fusion nodesNodes

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.
  
• Select multiple Fusion nodes with a rectangular selection after dragging with a mouse left button.

Copy and Paste a Fusion nodeNode

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.
  
• Select multiple Fusion nodes with a rectangular selection after dragging with a mouse left button.

Delete a Fusion nodeNode

The delete operation can be executed by selecting the target Fusion node and pressing the Delete button on the keyboard or by selecting the context menu [ Delete ]. The deletion flow after the deletion operation is executed depends on the status of the target Fusion node.

1. The target Fusion node has no reference
   After performing the delete operation, the target Fusion node is connected to the top node. By performing the delete operation again, the [ Delete Items ] dialog box will appear. After confirming the contents, the target Fusion node is deleted by pressing the OK button.
   

   

   
   
   
2. The target Fusion node has reference
   After performing the delete operation, the [ Delete Items ] dialog box appears. After confirming the contents, the target Fusion node is deleted by pressing the OK button. Fusion nodes (as reference) connected to the target Fusion node will be directly connected to the top node.
   

   

   
   

Connect via Link

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

Delete Link

By right-clicking on a connector of Fusion node, delete a link already connected (However, a link of Fusion nodes connected to the top node cannot be deleted.) If a connector is connected to multiple links, all links will be deleted. The Fusion node that deletes its link is then automatically linked to the top node.

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.

Context Menu

After selecting any Fusion node, the following context menu is displayed by right-clicking the mouse.

Save as Behavior Building Block	Save the currently selected Fusion node as a Behavior Building Block.
Suppress All Warning	Hides behavior-related warnings in Problems Browser panel.
Create Group	This menu is displayed when multiple Fusion nodes are selected. Groups the currently selected Fusion nodes.
Lock	Performs an edit lock on the Fusion node. The connector of a locked Fusion node will be grayed out and no additional Fusion node operations can be performed. Note that locking the top node will lock all connected Fusion nodes.
Unlock	This menu is displayed when the currently selected Fusion node is locked (When multiple Fusion nodes are selected, this option is displayed if all selected Fusion nodes are locked.) Unlock the currently selected Fusion node.
