Shortcut deltas
The wheel shortcuts operate while the ULDK editor mode is active, even if the viewport is not currently focused.
| Input | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Mouse Wheel | In Copy Tool, changes Copy Count. |
| Ctrl + Mouse Wheel | Changes the last active W/E/R delta. If no axis was selected yet, Translation X is used. |
| W | Cycles translation delta X, then Y, then Z. |
| E | Cycles rotation delta X, then Y, then Z. |

Details panel behavior
- The reset icon beside the shortcut explanation resets selected ULDK properties to defaults.
- The top Setup section appears before tool-specific controls and contains Snap, Snap Size, Pivot X, and Pivot Y for shapes and utilities.
- Material assignment buttons should work even if another editor widget previously had focus.
- Preview material is the base
M_ULDK_VizGhostmaterial. Edit that base material directly if you want to customize the preview look. - Changing shape material colors should update material parameters directly and keep the color picker responsive.
