Visualising notes

First setup

To get started with Codecks Scene Notes, you can use the Setup Wizard included. Go to Tools > Codecks Scene Notes > Setup Wizard.

Fill in all the fields, login, and confirm. All of the information is saved into Project Settings. You can always use the Wizard again to override the values, or edit them manually from within Project Settings.

Bringing up the overlay

Codecks Scene Notes is operated through a Scene Overlay toolbar. To open it, either hover on the Scene View and press the ` key (the one next to Shift, on a British keyboard), or click on the three vertical dots menu at the top-right corner of the Scene View, and select Overlays Menu:

Opening the Overlays Menu via the top-right dropdown

Once the Overlays Menu opens, click on Codecks Scene Notes to enable the overlay:

The Overlays Menu, that allows you to enable and disable overlays

Once the overlay is enabled, you should see it appear somewhere in your Scene View:

The Codecks Scene Notes overlay, closed

The overlay appears in its closed state. Click on it to enable it, and load Scene Notes.

Pulling card data

The first time the tool is enabled, it pulls card data from the server.

Once it’s done, you can always force a refresh of the data by clicking the Reload button.

Reloading data will discard any unsaved changes you might have, so make sure to save any edited Note before you Reload!

Focusing on scene notes

If the scene is very busy with gizmos and icons, it might be hard to see scene notes. To get focus, click on the Focus button. All gizmos and icons for other components will be disabled, putting the spotlight on the notes.

Click on the button again, or disable the overlay, to see other gizmos again.

When enabling Focus mode, Codecks Scene Notes will remember which gizmos were already disabled. This way when you exit Focus mode, those gizmos won't be enabled by mistake.
