Panel Overview¶

The traffiq panel is located on the right side of the 3D viewport window. It is the main way to access traffiq features and assets. To access the side panel press the N key on your keyboard and select the polygoniq tab.

If you have multiple polygoniq add-ons enabled they will all be shown here

Warning

If you do not see the panel or do not see any panels at all, check that traffiq is enabled in Preferences → Addons.

Warning

Most of the operator buttons only work if you are in Object Mode. Usually you can press Tab to switch between modes.

Convert to Editable & Convert to Linked¶

Covert to Editable - converts any traffiq asset to editable, this makes it local and allow user changes.
Convert to Linked - converts any editable traffiq assets to linked, saves memory, speeds up renders but disallows user changes.

Converting to linked will revert all changes you have made to the asset
