Grouping Colors by Colors

In the Composer mode, you can group different colors into different groups in order that you can simultaneously adjust the colors in a same group. For simple props, grouping by colors is the most easy method.

First Time Grouping

If the shapes of the object (prop) are not grouped, then follow the steps below:

  1. Create an object (in this case, a prop).

  4. Click the Process button to auto-distribute the same color shapes into individual groups. The SVG Group Editor will display on the screen.
  5. Click on the group and the shapes in the group will blink one the screen.

  7. You are allowed to customize the Group-Shape structure with the SVG Group Editor.
  8. Close the SVG Group Editor and you can adjust the groups and their shapes with the SVG Color Adjustment panel.

If the shapes have been grouped by colors, by sprites or by customization and you want to group by colors again, then follow the steps below:
