5 Ways To Customise Your Sandbox Editor


  1. Combining tools into one window: You can drag an open tool into the same window as another tool which is also open. You can do this with multiple tool sets. This could be useful in situations where one tool set is use often in conjunction with another tool set.
  2. Attaching an open tool panel to your working space: If a tool panel is open, for example the materials tool panel, It can be attached to the sides of you working space so it remains opened and attached to the window. This is done by simply dragging the panel to whatever side you desire on your viewport/working space. This would be useful for tools that are used often so it would not require you to re-open it over and over again.
  3. Turning tool bars on/off: You can turn the majority of your tool bars on/off by simply right clicking on them and unticking the one that you would like to turn on/off. This would be useful to create more space for you to work with or just simply remove tools that are not used for a particular project.
  4. Customising tool bars: You can make your own customised tool bars by right-clicking on an empty space on the tool area and click on customise. This allows you to create your own tool bars. You have the ability to combine tools or add new tools such as show the time on the tool area.
  5. Show shortcut keys in screen tips: This option can be accessed by clicking on an empty space on the tool area or by going to 'Tools' and then clicking on 'Customize Keyboard'. Once on the 'Customize screen click on the 'Options' tab and then tick 'Show shortcut keys in screen tips'. Ticking on this option allows you to view the shortcut key in the screen tips as you hover over a tool. This is useful in helping you memorise the shortcut for important tools.
