All parameters are separated in different section, easy to understand their values and how the behave.

Presets

You can click the image and choose a preset, click "Apply" and add it to your scene. The presets are ready to go models, applied with materials and geomotry nodes modifier (tools) with adjusted parameters to show what the addon can do and how to do it.



Materials

You can click the image and choose a material, click "Apply" to apply the selected material to you selected objects to the material slot of the object. If On The Rocks-tools were applied to the object, the material will also be set to modifier material socket.



Tools

Select your objects in the 3D Viewport, select a tool, "Apply" it, it's that easy. All selected objects will then have a geometry nodes modifier according to the selected tool. Some tools uses the wireframe of the mesh, e.g. Formation, some tools uses the faces and mesh itself, e.g. Bricks Wall or Landscape. All tools can be customized and adjusted in the modifiers tab.



Quickly enable/disable the tools of the selected objects, for viewport and render mode.
