F04 — Skin Desk · Sync Map

SkinLayer Studio 1.3.x Standalone UI reference.
Practice: EP00–EP12 · Features: F01–F17 (order 50+).

Describes the lower-left Skin Desk (mesh list) and Sync Map (source↔target graph) from screenshots.
For overall UI placement, see #5 in the UI layout guide.

1. Skin Desk — mesh workbench

List columns

Name colors (role hints)

A common flow sets a full-body dummy (Dummy_Body, etc.) as Source and clothing/part Geo as Target.

2. Skin Desk right-click menu

Right-click a mesh row to open Sync / transfer menus.

3. Sync Map — relationship window

Open with Skin Desk Map (or the menu).
Blue node = Source, green node = Target, line = Sync link.

How to read nodes

Example reading (screen above)

• Dummy_Body → Body_Geo, Face_Geo, Arm_Geo, Stockings_Geo, … (body/clothing broadly)
• Dummy_Cloth → Stockings_Geo, LegBelt_Geo, Boots_Geo, BootLines_Geo (clothing · boots side)

One Target can link to multiple Sources (e.g. boots to both Body + Cloth).

4. Sync Map right-click menu

Right-click a node (or selection) for Sync operations.

Skin Desk and Sync Map menus share the same Sync concepts. Desk shows Role in the list; Map shows links as lines.

Recommended flow

1) In Skin Desk, select dummy / full-body mesh
2) Right-click → Set as Sync Source
3) Select clothing / part mesh → Set as Sync Target...
4) Confirm links in Map (blue→green lines)
5) Sync Now to sync layer/weight relationships
6) Transfer Weights... for finer transfer if needed
7) Apply to Skin
