Irregular Grading

Streamline the grading process by allowing multiple fields within the grading table to be edited at once, ensuring uniform changes across different sizes or axes.

1. Use the  Edit Grading tool to select the point or segment you want to adjust.
    

2. In the Property Editor's grading table, use the following shortcuts to highlight multiple input fields:

   • Continuous Selection: Click a field, hold Shift, and click another field to select all cells in between.

   • Random/Specific Selection: Hold Ctrl (Cmd) and click individual fields to select specific, non-adjacent cells.

   • Drag Selection: Click and drag the mouse across multiple cells to highlight continuous fields.
      

3. While holding Shift or Ctrl (Cmd), double-click the last selected field to activate the input box for the entire selection.
    

4. Type a value into the active cell and press Enter.
    

5. The entered value is applied to every selected field instantly.

📝 Note: This behavior applies to any editable numeric field within the size-specific rows of the grading table.

✨Tip: Use mathematical operators (e.g., *2 or +5) to perform relative calculations across all selected fields at once.
