Tools

The toolbar is the area of the interface where you'll find tools and the most common actions needed to work with assets in Stager. Each tool provides unique methods for creating and interacting with content directly in the viewport. Only one tool can be active at a time and each tool has many sub tools and options for controlling its behavior.
