This section will provide a comprehensive overview of GeoSign interface and the functions of each segment.
in this documentation, we will primarily use Blender version 3.6 for demonstration.
It's important to note that the interface screenshots were captured in Blender version 3.6.1. While some elements might appear differently in older Blender versions, such as the toggle buttons – in 3.6, they appear as button shapes, whereas in older versions, they may display as Boolean values (0 and 1).
Despite these subtle differences, they do not impact the plugin's overall functionality.
Assets Library (Red Section): Select assets and place them in the scene (if asset previews are not displayed or appear incomplete, click 'Reload').
Tools (Blue Section): Some commonly used essential features will be found in this panel. The functionality of certain tool buttons may vary based on the selected objects.
GeoNode (Green Section): Where the GeometryNode parameters for GeoSign are controlled. This interface can be shown or hidden by clicking the 'GeoNode Control' button.
(The interface within this section will be covered later)
Due to the extensive range of adjustable parameters and features in GeoSign, you might find it challenging at times to locate the specific parameter you wish to modify among the numerous options.
Therefore, I've incorporated a menu on this interface. You can select the type of item you want to adjust, enabling the interface to display only the relevant adjustment options.
Materials (Yellow Section): Where the Materials for GeoSign are controlled. This interface can be shown or hidden by clicking the 'Material Control' button."
(The interface within this section will be covered later)
When you press the default hotkey (Ctrl + Shift + T) in Object Mode within the 3D View, a Pie Menu will appear at your mouse cursor's position.
<aside> 💡 If you wish to change the hotkey, modifications can be made in Preferences > Add-ons > GeoSign > Pie Menu Keymap

The buttons in the Pie Menu are essentially some of the frequently used buttons from the Tools panel, and they share similar functions with those in the N-Panel.
Pressing this button will automatically create a curve object and enter the curve drawing mode. It's recommended to create a plane before using this feature for drawing curves.
