It is also possible to copy and paste layers by selecting the layers, **right clicking** any selected layer and select **Copy** from the context menu, or by pressing **Crtl-c**. The new layers have the same amount of top and bottom blobs, top blobs get renamed to be unique, parameters will get copied, connections between copied layers get preserved.

To add a top or bottom blob to a layer, **right click** the node and select **Add top** or **Add bottom**. When creating a top blob, a dialog will ask for the blobs name.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, blobs can get added using the **Layer Properties**-dock by selecting the layer. If the layer has no top/bottom blob, type **top** or **bottom** in the **New Property** input field at the bottom of the Layer Properties-dock and press **Enter**. Use the **+**-button next to the top/bottom-parameter to create a top/bottom blob. If creating a top blob, type the name in the new input field. The name of bottom blobs can not be changed manually. They will get updated automatically when connecting to a top blob.

The rectangles in the lower part of the layer node represent the top and bottom blobs, the top blobs being right and the bottom blobs being left.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To change a top blobs name, **right click** the blobs rectangle in layer node and select **Change name** from the context menu or change the name in the **Properties**-dock. This will also update all bottom blob names, connected to the changed top blob.
|
|
|

You can connect a top and a bottom blob by start dragging on a blobs rectangle and stop at another rectangle. This will create a visible connection between both blobs. Note, that you can't create a connection between two top or two bottom blobs. A top blob can be connected to multiple bottom blobs, but a bottom blob can only connect to one top blob. (If the layer of the top blob has the **include.phase** paramter, a second top blob can get connected to the bottom blob. The second top blob needs to have the same name as the first and its **include.phase** parameter needs to have another phase.)

Long connections can get hidden, by **right clicking** the connection and selecting **Hide** from the context menu. To show the connection select **Show**. Hidden connections are represented by dashed lines at the start and end of the connection.

To remove a connection between two blobs, select the connection and hit **Del**. This will reset the bottom blobs name to be empty.

The new rectangles representing the blobs can be connected by clicking and holding the left mouse button while hovering over a top blob and dragging it to a bottom blob. Visually, a connection is rendered between the two rectangles.

Only top blobs must be named, the names of the bottom blobs are inferred by the connection.

Removing a blob can be done by **right clicking** the blobs rectangle and selecting **Remove** from the context menu. Alternatively a blob can be removed by clicking the **-**-button next to the blobs name in the **Layer Properties**-dock. Removing a blob also removes all connections connected to the blob. |
