Panel Controls

Tag	Name	Description
1	License Status & Help	Displays the plugin's sign-in status. Click to sign in or manage your licence. Click Help to open the online documentation.
2	Layout List	Lists Rhino layouts and their associated Photoshop template information. Double-click a layout to open its dialog. A star indicates the active layout. The PSD, JPG and Folder icons link to their respective files or folders. The code beside the Folder icon displays the first two and last two characters of the folder ID. Mask generates a detail mask in Photoshop (disabled by default). Status indicates the current synchronisation status. Mode indicates the default layer update setting (Ignore by default).
3	Layer Filter	Filters the layers displayed in the Layer Visibility list below. Use the wildcard character * to match any number of characters.
4	Layer Visibility	Indicates whether the layer is visible in the Rhino viewport.
5	Layer Fill	When checked, hatches on the layer are exported to Photoshop as solid white fills, with the suffix (F) added to the layer name. Photoshop layer effects can then be used to control their appearance.
6	Verbatim	When checked, the layer is exported to Photoshop as it appears in Rhino. For example, hatches are exported as hatch linework rather than solid fills, and picture objects are exported as images.
7	Mode Override	Overrides the layout's processing mode for the next processing run. See Override Modes below.
8	Process Current Button	Processes the active layout by default. If multiple layouts or layers are selected, processes the selected combination instead.
9	Process All Button	Processes all eligible layouts in a batch.
10	Working Folder Link	Opens the current DOCOpalette working folder associated with the file.

caution

Batch processing can take a considerable amount of time, depending on the complexity of the files being processed.

Override Modes

Mode	Description
No Override	Respects the processing settings configured for each layout.
Export + Photoshop	Performs the full processing workflow, including exporting from Rhino and processing in Photoshop.
Export Only	Exports the layout without processing the Photoshop file. Useful when another user is editing the Photoshop file. Only PDF files are generated.
Photoshop Only	Skips the Rhino export and processes the existing Photoshop file, updating the layout's background image. Useful when working primarily in Photoshop and wanting to see the changes reflected in Rhino.
