Surface/Projector Assignment

Last updated 7 August 2026

Says which projectors render which surfaces. Rows are Surfaces, columns are Projectors, and a ticked cell means that projector renders that surface.

You rarely need this window. Every projector in a render group is assigned to every surface in the same group automatically, so a scene built the usual way is already correct. Open it to override that — to stop one projector rendering one surface, or to hand a surface to a projector outside its group.

The matrix

Element

Description

Rows

The surfaces in the scene, grouped by scene group.

Columns

The projectors, also grouped.

Cell

Tick to have that projector render that surface; clear it to stop.

Group rows

Collapsible. Collapsing a group hides its rows or columns, which is how a large scene stays readable.

The matrix rebuilds itself when the scene changes — a surface or projector added, removed, renamed or moved between groups appears here without reopening the window.

What a cleared cell means

Clearing a cell removes that projector's contribution to that surface. The surface keeps whatever the remaining projectors cover, so a surface with every cell cleared renders nothing at all rather than falling back to automatic assignment.
