Organisation
Graph tabs, layers and filters
Tabs split a large graph into focused workspaces. Layers group related nodes inside a tab and can collapse to a compact header while preserving external connection visibility.
- Where to find it
- Parameter Graph top bar + Layer button + Filters menu
- When to use it
- Keeping large parameter networks understandable

Step by step
- Create/rename tabs around meaningful areas of the component.
- Move related nodes into named layers.
- Collapse finished layers to reduce clutter.
- Use Filters and Search to temporarily narrow the visible node set.
- Use the minimap/zoom controls to navigate larger canvases.
Filter categories
The graph can filter Parameters & values, Variables, Conditions, Objects & geometry, Boolean results, Math & rules, Transforms & repeat, Anchors, Outputs, and Overview/comments.
Collapsed connections
External connections to collapsed nodes terminate at the layer header instead of disappearing. Expanding the chevron reroutes them to the original socket.
Shared layer names
Designer objects and Parameter Graph members can share layer organisation so Project Browser and Parameter Graph stay conceptually aligned.
Keep in mind
- Use layers for structure and filters for temporary viewing. Hiding a category with a filter should not be treated as deleting the underlying node.
