Easy Mode
Overview
Easy Mode is a feature that allows you to customize the properties of each element. For example, unused properties can be hidden in the properties panel to organize a large number of properties. You can also export/import customized property configuration files. This allows each user (designer, programmer, etc.) to use the most appropriate property configuration file.
This feature was implemented in CGI Studio 3.12 and earlier as a function to generate Easy Mode configuration files using the "SceneComposerConfigurator.exe" file. From CGI Studio 3.13 onward, this has been updated to make it easier than ever to set Easy Mode from "Preferences" in Scene Composer.
Target Elements
The following elements can have their properties customized in Easy Mode.
- Behavior
- Effect
- Node（Node 2D、Node 3D）
Customizable Items
The following properties can be customized.

Items of customizable properties differ for each property.

Export/Import
Export
The configuration of each property item set in the Preferences dialog can be exported as an XML file. Export is performed by clicking the [ Export ] button in the upper right corner of the Preferences dialog.
Import
You can import a previously exported XML file by clicking the [ Import ] button in the upper right corner of the Preferences dialog.
Restore defaults
The [ Restore defaults ] button in the lower right corner of the Preferences dialog restores each property that has already been set to the default settings.
Clicking [ Restore defaults ] button will return to the default settings all property entries for all elements. Please be careful when executing this function.
