Panes and posts provide the framework of the panel structure. Panels offer the versatility to be stretched to varying widths and heights along with skin options to suit the scope of your project.
Use Group select mode and Single select mode to adjust the height, width, and properties of a panel.
- Group select mode allows you to stretch the panel's height by dragging the yellow cylinder.
-
Single select mode allows you to select an individual pane and update the skin properties.
The yellow arrows on the 2D panel are used to adjust the width. Use the Quick Properties box to select a predetermined width in the dropdown menu.
