Add a branch with Click Place

Follow these steps to add a branch to a model with Click Place:

1. In Freehand Mode, select Click Place in the Properties window.

2. Hold the space bar and click wherever (trunk or branch nodes) you want a branch.

Assign a Click Place ID

By default, generators are set as ready to accept Click Place branches. The branches are automatically assigned the ID 1 and will be assigned to the first ready generator found.

To assign Click Place branches to specific generators or modify a generator's readiness:

1. Set the model to Generator Mode.

2. Select the generator whose Click Place branches you want to modify.

3. Go to Generation > More > Click Place.

4. Assign or modify a generator to the selected node using the drop-down menu.

You can also designate an ID for the node to accept in the Click Place properties:

1. In Freehand Mode, select the branch.

2. From the Click Place properties window, select the node.

3. Under Selected node's click placements, select the click placement you want to change.

4. Select Change ID.

Note

If you leave the default settings, Click Place branches are automatically assigned an ID of 1 and the first available ready generator. If there is no generator ready, a new generator is created.
