General Settings

These are the general options that affect the functionality of the plug-in:

Keep Curve Attributes will remember and read the curve attributes on on the curve, even if the curve is detached from the curve card/tube node network (duplicated, exported, etc.)
Add Cards/Tubes Blend Attributes enables blending of the attributes when using Add Cards/Tubes or Fill functions.
Fill Creates Only Curves will enable curve only output during Fill function
Auto Convert Instances will automatically convert instanced curves to normal curves before any other function is applied.
Use Auto-Refine on New Curves - will automatically enabled Auto-Refine mode on newly created curves and tubes.
Flip UVs After Mirror - will automatically flip UVs after the mirror (or flip) function is used. This allows for more accurate mirroring.
Enable Tooltips - will toggle the tooltips visibility on plug-in controls and buttons.

Sync Curve Color to the Layer Color will enable the automatic sync between Layer Color and color of the path curve used to control Curve Cards and tubes
Colorize Regrouped Layers will enable automatic colorization of the regrouped layers when pressing Regroup by Layer button. You can change the colors in Curve Control Window or using Custom Colors Window.
Color Only Diffuse - will apply color only to the diffuse component and keep the alpha transparency active.
Checker pattern for color will determine if colorize mode should use plain color or checker pattern.

Bound Curves Follow Parent will ensure that moving a parent curve in a Bound Object (Bound Group) will also move all the child curves along with it to a new layer.
Bind to All Available Curves will bind selected hair clump (or geometry) to all selected “empty” curves. More info here: Mass Bind
Duplicate Curves Before Bind will automatically duplicate the curves before binding them to the curve, leaving old curves behind with no edits.
Flip UVs before Bind will flip the UVs on original curves before using Bind command. This eliminates the Bind mirroring effect.

Unpack Deletes Original Objects will enable deletion of original Bound objects during the Unpack.
Unpack Matches the Original CV Count will enable matching the CV count of the original curves during the Unpack operation.

Ignore Last Layer will change the behavior of Extract All button and Filter buttons. Those buttons will either ignore or affect last Layer depending on this options.
Sync Outliner/Layer Visibility will automatically hide curves not only using layers, but also in the outliner (they will be greyed out)
Replacing Curve Layer Selection will disable additive selection for the layers. When holding Ctrl and clicking on a new layer, old layer will be deselected automatically.
Use Only Numbers in Layers will activate/deactivate numbers only mode for layer names. With this option disabled, the second row of layers will have A-J letters instead.
Number of Active Layers allows user to choose the number of active layers in the scene (up to 80).

Ignore “Template” Collection Names if active will ignore all the collections with “template” (case insensitive) in their name when performing Extract All or Filter operations.
Group “Template” Collections Together if active will regroup all the curves from collections with “template” (case insensitive) in their name into a separate group called “CT_Templates”. Other collections and layers will be regrouped normally.
Show Layer Collections Menu will activate Layer Collections Menu.
Import Into a New Collection will enable Importing curves into a separate “Imported Curves” collection. Only works if Show Layers Collection Menu is checked.
