Changing the Corner Point to Start Placement of Panels

by Usmi H

Jun 16, 2022

Hi Santiago,

I would like to ask if there is a method to change the point from which the panels start to be placed. Normally, the point is the left lower corner point (in red) of the surface. Is there a way I can change that point to the left top corner point (in green)? So the empty space stays below the panel not above.

Thanks a lot for your help :) 

Bests,

    Hi Usmi,

    Unfortunately that option is not supported. Did you try using the DEFAULT VERTICAL SHIFT Skin Generator Option? See the image below, would that do the trick for what you are after?
