Frame Editor Reference

What this reference is for#

The reference is the canonical description of the Frame Editor model. Use it when you need to know exactly what an entity represents, which values determine it, what changes when it moves, and how it relates to the rest of a frame.

Reference pages are organised by concept rather than construction order. You can open one page directly from the editor, a playback cue, the Getting Started guide, or a search result without reading the preceding pages.

Reference and Getting Started#

The Getting Started guide gives you a compact orientation and enough vocabulary for a first editing session. Narrated presets then show complete workflows inside the editor, where you can pause, inspect a step, and take over the model.

This reference serves a different purpose: it explains each concept completely and independently. Getting Started and playback cues link here when a short explanation is no longer enough; reference pages link back to public guides or narrated presets where the behaviour can be seen in context.

How topics are organised#

• Foundations describe coordinates, nodes, and the positioning tools used to establish design geometry.
• Frame entities describe the logical and manufactured objects that make up a frame.
• Behaviour covers propagation, reconciliation, position guards, defaults, and reactive dependencies.
• Editor and output covers contextual editing, reversible history, inspection, and manufacturing handoff.

Topics marked Planned establish the intended information architecture while the detailed pages are being written. Available topics are linked below.
