    Grid magnet: positions a node along the lines of the grid when you move the node.
    Display beta operators: displays Beta operators in the library. For more information, see About Beta Operators.
    Automatic 3D reframe from selection: reframes automatically the 3D area's view on the output geometry when you select an operation or a group of operations.
    Enable node shadows: displays a shadow effect on your nodes.
    Add category colors: displays the color of the operators' category on your nodes.
    Automatic hide: hides automatically a new operation if it does not generate a geometry.
    Overlay Background opacity: defines the opacity of the Graph Editor's view when the Overlay Mode is selected.

    For more information, see Operators Library.
    Edition Memorize input values when editing an operation: stores the input values of an operation when you edit it in the graph editor.

    Only the following parameters are stored:

    • All numeral inputs (such as length, angle, real, or integer.)
    • Boolean
    Initialize created operations with memorized input values: applies the stored input values to a new operation when it has the same type as an operator previously added to the graph.
    Update Display update duration: provides the number of evaluations and the update time of an operation on its node.
