Creating Custom Attribute Panels

Creating Custom Attribute Panels

Create a custom particle attribute panel so you can quickly access the parameters that you frequently use. You can drag parameters from an existing standard panel to copy the parameters into the custom panel. Or you can drag parameters from a custom panel to move the parameters to the new custom panel. If you want to simultaneously add multiple parameters, press Ctrl while selecting the parameters.

When you move a panel to a new location, an indicator appears so you can preview a valid drop location. If you do not see an indicator, the parameter is inserted at the end of the panel. The following example shows a custom panel with drop indicators.
