Activity 2: Creating a Brush Preset

T-DES-001-008

Harmony provides a variety of pens and brushes and also allows you to create and save your own through creating a tool preset.

It is a good idea to create and save pens with precise sizes and parameters to trace and design your models and breakdowns.

How to create a tool preset
  1. In the Tools toolbar, select a tool, for example the Brush tool.
  2. Use the Tool Properties view to customize the tool.
  3. To set a specific colour for your preset, in the Colour view, select the colour swatch to link to the tool.
NOTE: When using a tool preset in a scene that is not using the assigned colour swatch, a colour recovery dialog box appears prompting you to add the colour to the scene.
  1. In the Tool Presets toolbar, click the New Tool Preset button.
  1. In the New Preset dialog box, in the Name field, type a name for your new preset.

  1. From the icon list, select an icon to quickly identify your preset or upload your own by clicking the File button.

  1. (Optional) From the Shortcut menu, set a keyboard shortcut to quickly access your preset. By default, the shortcuts are unassigned. To assign a keyboard shortcut, select Edit > Preferences > Shortcuts > Tool Presets (Windows) or Harmony > Preferences > Shortcuts > Tool Presets (Mac OS X).
  1. When you select an option, it will take effect when you use the tool preset. If an option is deselected, then using a tool preset will not override your current settings.
