Properties Editing
Arithmetic expressions in numeric fields and step control.
Every numeric field in the app — the transform values in the Properties panel (Translation, Rotation, Scale) and numeric settings — accepts arithmetic expressions, not just plain numbers. Type an expression, press Enter (or click elsewhere), and the field collapses it into the result.
What you can type
| Example | Result |
|---|---|
2*3+1 | 7 |
1/3 | 0.333333333333333 |
2*pi | 6.283185307179586 |
2^10 | 1024 |
(1+2)*4 | 12 |
sin(30) (degrees) | 0.5 |
log(100) / ln(e) | 2 / 1 |
Supported: + - * / ^, parentheses, the functions sin, cos, log, ln (trigonometry uses degrees), and the constants pi and e.
Rules
- The expression is committed on Enter or when the field loses focus.
- An invalid expression changes nothing — the field restores its previous value.
- Results are clamped to the field's allowed range. Rotation is cyclic and wraps into 0–360°:
361becomes1,-10becomes350. - Integer fields drop the fractional part of the result.
Adjusting without typing
- Arrow Up / Arrow Down and the - / + buttons nudge the value by the current step.
- In the Properties panel the Unit step selector next to each group sets that step (for example 1 or 10 for Translation, 45 or 90 for Rotation).
