+Comparing with menu, the advantage of this solution is that the sidebar is persistent in UI layout. It is more convenient and effective when adding multiple floors by reducing the time of repetitive opening add menu. Also, there is Rail and Component adder panels under this tab. This will not be introduced again in following chapters.

+At the bottom of the BME configuration dialog, you can always find an area called Extra Transform. In this area, there are two options for configuration: extra translation and rotation. These fields are primarily intended for visual edit.
+
+Before explaining the actual functions of these fields, it is important to understand that the floor created by BME is always generated based on the current position of the 3D cursor. In other words, wherever the 3D cursor is located, the newly created surface will be positioned accordingly. This design primarily considers visual edit, allowing users to first move the 3D cursor to the desired location for adding a floor, and then add the corresponding BME structure. This enables users to preview results in real-time while adjusting parameters. Sometimes, the position of your 3D cursor may not be entirely accurate, or the final generated structure may require certain rotation to meet your expectations. In such cases, Extra Transform fields can be utilized to apply extra translation and rotation to the generated structure in relation to the 3D cursor, ensuring it is accurately positioned. In this way, the correct results can be previewed when adjusting the parameters.
+
 ## Tips
 
 Each floor type has a different number of configuration entries, so for different floor types, you will need to follow the configuration hint text to understand what the corresponding configuration does. Some floor types may have a large number of configuration entries, while others may have no configuration entries at all.
 
 The default values for the floor type configuration are set to the values that were most commonly used when the floor was created. The values are reset to the defaults each time the floor type is switched or recreated.

 ## Compiling LibCmo with BMap
 
-BBP's Virtools file native import/export functionality relies on BMap and its Python binding PyBMap. In order to distribute the plugin, we need to first compile BMap and its predecessor LibCmo, and before doing so, you need to check the version of BMap you need. Because BBP doesn't always use the latest version of BMap, e.g. if you're compiling an older version of BBP, it's obviously not possible to rely on the latest version of BMap. BMap is constantly being upgraded, and the functionality it provides is constantly changing, and different versions of BMap are incompatible. BBP usually states the version of BMap it uses at the time of release, but if BBP doesn't point it out, you may need to look for the most recent version of BMap that compiles with the version of BBP at the time of its release.

Then clone the project and use the Git command to go to the corresponding version (or just download the source code of the corresponding version). Then follow LibCmo's compilation manual to compile to get BMap. on Windows, you'll usually get the files `BMap.dll` and `BMap.pdb`. On Linux, it will be `BMap.so`.

-## Generate Thumbnails and Compress JSON
+## Generate Resources
 
-BBP comes with a built-in set of custom icons, as well as the JSON files needed by its component BME to describe the structure. By batch generating thumbnails and compressing JSON operations, the size of these parts can be reduced, making them suitable for loading in Blender and easier to distribute.
+BBP needs some resoures to run, and these resources need to be processed before using them.
 
-Go to the `bbp_ng/tools` folder and run `python3 build_icons.py` which will batch generate thumbnails (this requires the PIL library, please install it via pip in advance). It actually generates thumbnails from the original images in the `bbp_ng/raw_icons` directory and stores them in the `bbp_ng/icons` folder. Running `python3 build_jsons.py` will compress the JSON, which actually reads, compresses, and writes the raw JSON files from the `bbp_ng/raw_jsons` directory into the `bbp_ng/jsons` folder.
+For generating these resrouces, we firstly need to navigate to `scripts` directory, and execute `uv sync` to restore the environment for scripts (Astral UV required).
+
+### Generate Thumbnails
+
+BBP comes with a built-in set of custom icons, however these icons are stored as their original size in repository for keeping convenient editing and high quality. We need to reduce the size of these icons to make them are easy to be loaded on Blender and easy for distribution by generating thumbnails for them.
+
+Execute `uv run build_icons.py` to generate thumbnails. It actually generates thumbnails from the original images in the `assets/icons` directory and stores them in the `bbp_ng/icons` folder.
+
+### Generate JSONs
+
+The BME component in BBP relies on a series of JSON files to describe the prototype. These profiles are stored in the library in JSON5 format, making them easy for writers to read and write. We converte these JSON5 files to JSON files and compressing their size makes them easier to load in Blender, as well as to facilitate plugin distribution, by batchly generating them.
+
+If you are the plugin developer or writer of these prototypes, you need to do an additional thing before generating these JSON files: verify these JSON files. The BBP plugin will assume that these JSON files are correct when loading them. If you put a JSON file with errors (e.g. missing some fields or has some typos, etc.), it will cause Blender to throw an error when creating prototype. Therefore, it is necessary to verify these JSON files. Execute `uv run validate_jsons.py` to verify all prototype files. If there are no errors, it means that everything is okey. It is important to note that the validator is not perfect, it can only verify the data as much as possible to ensure that some common erros (e.g. typo in field name) will not occur. It can not make 100% sure about that there is no error inside these files.
+
+For compilers, all you need to do is that execute `uv run build_jsons.py` to generate JSON files. It actually reads, compresses, and writes the original JSON5 files in `assets/jsons` directory to the `bbp_ng/jsons` folder in JSON format.
+
+### Generate Element Meshes
+
+BBP has built-in mesh data for all Ballance element placeholders. Execute `uv run build_jsons.py` to deploy these meshes, which simply copies the mesh files under `assets/jsons` folder to `bbp_ng/jsons` folder.
+
+## Translation
+
+The BBP plugin supports multilingual functionality, so we need to extract and update the content to be translated before the official release, and then proceed to the next step after translating all the content.
+
+Blender's multilingual support for plugins is not satisfactory, and BBP's design is relatively special, so BBP adopts a different way to manage translations than the official recommended plugin translation management method of Blender: that is, use PO files to manage translations instead of the officially recommended Python script format.
+
+!!! info "Do NOT submit translations in Python format"
+    As mentioned above, BBP uses PO files to manage translations, rather than the Python source format recommended by Blender. However, this does not prevent Blender's multilingual plugins from writing translations in the Python source format into the plugin's source code. Submitting duplicate translations not only increases the repository size but also complicates management. Therefore, BBP requires you to delete the Python-format translations before submission.
+
+    The specific operational method is to open the `bbp_ng/UTIL_translation.py` file before submission and change the value of the translation tuple variable `translations_tuple` to an empty tuple (i.e., `translations_tuple = ()`).
+
+### Extract Translation Template
+
+Before translating, it is important to first recognize that the text requiring translation for BBP consists of two parts. One part is the BBP plugin itself, whose text to be translated can be extracted by Blender's built-in multilingual plugin. The other part is the JSON file in the BME component that describes the structure, where the names of various showcase fields need to be translated. However, this part cannot be handled by Blender's multilingual plugin, as it is dynamically loaded. Fortunately, we have written an extractor that can extract the relevant text to be translated from the BME's JSON file. To do this, execute `uv run extract_jsons.py` in the folder where the previous script was run, and the script will extract the text to be translated and write it into the `i18n/bme.pot` file. Therefore, the next task is simply to extract the translation for the plugin portion.
+
+First, you need to enable Blender's built-in multilingual plugin, "Manage UI translations". To enable it, you may also need to download the source code and translation repository corresponding to your version of Blender. For specific instructions, please refer to the [official Blender Documentation](https://developer.blender.org/docs/handbook/translating/translator_guide/). Once you have enabled the plugin and configured the appropriate related paths in the preferences, you can find the "I18n Update Translation" panel under the "Render" panel. You can then proceed to extract the translations by following these steps:
+
+1. First, ensure that all Blender processes are closed; otherwise, the plugin will remain in a loading state, and modifications to the translated tuple variables will not take effect.
+1. Change the value of the translation tuple variable `translations_tuple` in the plugin to an empty tuple (refer to the earlier mentioned submission notes). Setting the translation tuple to empty can reset the translation status of the plugin, ensuring that subsequent text extraction operations are not affected by any existing translations.
+1. Open Blender, go to the "I18n Update Translation" panel, click "Deselect All" to uncheck all languages, and then only check the boxes next to the following languages (as BBP currently supports a limited number of languages):
+    * Simplified Chinese (简体中文)
+1. Click the "Refresh I18n Data" button at the bottom of the section, then in the pop-up window, select "Ballance Blender Plugin". After a short wait, the plugin will complete the extraction of the characters to be translated. At this point, the plugin merely extracts the translation fields into the source code of the plugin in a format recommended by Blender, using Python source code.
+1. In order to obtain the desired editable POT file, you need to click the "Export PO" button. In the pop-up window, select the "Ballance Blender Plugin", and you can choose any folder for saving the location (for example, the desktop, as it will generate many files, including our desired POT file). Uncheck the "Update Existing" option on the right and ensure that "Export POT" is checked, then proceed to save. After the export is complete, you will find a translation template file named `blender.pot` and numerous `.po` files named after language identifiers in the folder you selected.
+1. You need to copy `blender.pot` to the `i18n` folder and rename it to `bbp_ng.pot`. At this point, we have extracted all the content that needs to be translated.
+
+### Merge Translation Template
+
+There are currently two POT files in the `i18n` folder, which represent two sets of extracted text awaiting translation. We need to merge them. Execute `xgettext -o blender.pot bbp_ng.pot bme.pot` in the `i18n` folder to perform the merge. The merged `i18n/blender.pot` will serve as the translation template.
+
+### Create New Language Translation
+
+If BBP needs to support more languages in the future, you will need to create the corresponding PO translation files for the new languages from the POT files. You can create them through one of the following methods.
+
+* By using software such as Poedit to open the POT file, select function like create new translation from it, and then save to create.
+* Create a new language PO translation file using commands such as `msginit -i blender.pot -o zh_HANS.po -l zh_CN.utf8`.
+
+There are various ways to create, but the only point to note is that you need to set the file name (if the file name is incorrect, Blender will refuse to accept it) and the area name (which will be used when using `msginit`, with the purpose of ensuring UTF8 format encoding) as shown in the table below.
+
+|Language|File Name|Area Name|
+|:---|:---|:---|
+|Simplified Chinese (简体中文)|`zh_HANS.po`|`zh_CN.utf8`|
+
+### Update Language Translation
+
+Creating new language translations is not common; a more common practice is to update existing language translation files based on translation templates. You can update them through one of the following methods.
+
+* Open the PO file using software such as Poedit, and then select to update from the POT file.
+* Update using commands such as `msgmerge -U zh-HANS.po blender.pot --backup=none`.
+
+### Start Translating
+
+After updating the PO translation files for all languages, you may choose your preferred method for translation, such as using Poedit or editing directly.
+
+The BBP requires the use of the KDE community's translation standards to standardize the translations of plugins. For example, you can find the KDE community's translation standards for Simplified Chinese on the [KDE China](https://kde-china.org/tutorial.html) website.
+
+### Write Translation Back
+
+The translation in PO format cannot be recognized by Blender. Therefore, after the translation is completed, you also need to utilize Blender's multilingual plugin to convert the PO file back into a translation in Python source code format that Blender can recognize. Due to issues with the design of Blender's multilingual plugin, we cannot directly use the "Import PO" function to convert the PO file back into Python source code format. You need to follow the steps below sequentially in order to import the PO translation into the plugin:
+
+1. First, ensure that all Blender processes are closed; otherwise, the plugin will remain in a loading state, and modifications to the translated tuple variables will not take effect.
+1. Change the value of the translation tuple variable `translations_tuple` in the plugin to an empty tuple (refer to the earlier notes regarding submissions). The purpose of this step is to ensure that the entire plugin lacks translation entries, so that when using the "Import PO" feature, Blender's multilingual plugin will consider all fields stored in the PO file as needing translation, thereby preventing situations where only a portion of the translations is imported (as the translations for the BME portion were merged later).
+1. Open Blender, navigate to the "I18n Update Translation" panel, and following the procedure used when extracting the translation template, select only the languages that need to be translated from the language list.
+1. Click the "Import PO" button in the bottom row, then select the "Ballance Blender Plugin" in the pop-up window, and choose the `i18n` folder for import. In this way, we have completed the process of importing the PO file into a Python source code format recognizable by Blender.

+!!! warning "Exportable Targets and Modifiers"
+    Starting with BBP version 4.4, BBP not only supports exporting Mesh type objects, but also supports exporting all objects that can be converted to Mesh type, including: Curves, Surfaces, Fonts, and Meta Balls. Previously, BBP only supported exporting Mesh type objects. With this feature, users no longer need to convert various objects into meshes before exporting and testing maps. For example, when creating fancy rails using curve lofting, users can now export directly in curve form, test their playability in the game, and then solidify it into a mesh with appropriate materials after the complete test. This feature significantly speeds up map creation and adjustment.
+
+    Additionally, starting with BBP version 4.4, it's no longer necessary to apply modifiers to objects during export. BBP applies all modifiers to something like a "temporary object" before exporting (you can think of it this way, but the actual implementation is not exactly the same). This feature lays a solid foundation for enabling rapid creation of Balance maps using modifiers such as geometry nodes.
 
 ### Virtools Params
 
@@ -59,3 +70,11 @@ The Ballance Params section contains parameters that optimize the export process
 Successive Sector is an option to work around a bug that occurs when exporting groups of sectors. For some reason, if there are no elements in a sector (actually, no objects are grouped in a sector group), the export plugin thinks that the sector group doesn't exist and misses the export. And since Ballance determines the final sector, i.e. the sector where the spaceships appears, by incrementing the number of sectors from 1 to the last sector group that exists, the combination of the two causes Ballance to incorrectly determine the number of sectors in the map, and thus display the spaceships in the wrong sector, which is an export bug. when this option is checked, the exported document will be pre-defined according to the number of sectors specified in the Ballance Map information in the current Blender file. When this option is checked, the exported document will pre-create all of the sectors according to the number of sectors specified in the Ballance map information in the current Blender file before exporting, so that you don't miss creating some sector groups, and the spaceships will be displayed in the correct sectors.

+## Can't Import or Export
+
+In general, after you have properly installed and configured the plugin according to the previously introduced steps, you should theoretically be able to use the import and export functions for Virtools documents. However, unexpected issues may arise. The inability to import or export refers to the buttons for importing and exporting Virtools documents being greyed out and unclickable. You will need to follow the steps outlined below for checking. If you are referring to an error occurring during the import and export process, please refer to the warning information at the top of this page.
+
+First, check whether you have correctly configured the `External Texture Folder` setting of the plugin in the [Configure Plugin](configure-plugin.md) section. If you have not configured it, you will naturally be unable to import or export Virtools files. This is because importing and exporting Virtools files relies on the original Ballance texture data. Please configure this setting carefully according to the tutorial.
+
+If you are certain that you have set the correct texture path, you may try clicking the menu `Window - Toggle System Console` to open the console. There may be some relevant error messages outputted there, such as a failure to load the underlying BMap library, etc. The failure to load the underlying BMap library typically only occurs on machines with rare architectures, such as Windows systems using Snapdragon processors, as the plugin we packaged does not include the Virtools file underlying reading library BMap that supports these platforms. In this situation, you have two options: one is to report this to the developers and wait for support, and the other is to compile the library on yourself (this is only recommended for those with extensive computer knowledge).

Since the 3D cursor is merely a point, while objects occupy a certain space, we need to select a point in this space according to a specific pattern (described later) to be used for subsequent alignment operations. In this option, you specify what value you need to align to, with available selections including `Min` (minimum value on axis), `Center (Bounding Box)` (center of the bounding box), `Center (Axis)` (origin of the object), and `Max` (maximum value on axis). These options are consistent with the alignment options in 3ds Max.

+## Development Auxiliary Package
+
 This plugin works with the `fake-bpy-module` module to implement type hinting to speed up development. Use the following command to install Blender's type hinting library.
 
 * Blender 3.6: `pip install fake-bpy-module-latest==20230627`
 * Blender 4.2: `pip install fake-bpy-module-latest==20240716`
+* Blender 4.5: `pip install fake-bpy-module-latest==20250604`
 
-The main reason for doing this is that `fake-bpy-module` doesn't release an official package for the given Blender version, so I had to install it by choosing the daily build closest to the release time of the corresponding Blender version.
+The primary reason for this is that the `fake-bpy-module` has not timely released packages suitable for the specified Blender version. Therefore, I can only install it by selecting the daily build version that is closest to the date of the corresponding Blender version leaving from the `main` branch (as daily builds only compile from the `main` branch).
+
+!!! question "Why not use Blender's official bpy module?"
+    Blender provides an official package named `bpy` on PyPI, but we will not adopt it as our development auxiliary package. This is because it basically repackages Blender into a module (which basically means you are downloading Blender again), allowing you to manipulate Blender through Python. This is contrary to our purpose of using a package that only provides type hints to assist in plugin development.
+
+## Version Rule
+
+The version number format of BBP follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org), but with slight differences:
+
+* The major version number is only increased when the entire plugin is reconstructed.
+* The minor version number is used for regular updates.
+* The patch version number is incremented when there is no modification for any functionalities. For example, version 4.2.1 only includes updates for macOS Blender without changing any features.
+
+Before the formal release of BBP, there are typically three phased versions: Alpha version, Beta version, and RC version. The Alpha version focuses on functional updates, used to verify whether newly added or modified features are functioning correctly, and does not include documentation or translations. The Beta version is focus on plugin documentation, while the RC version concentrates on plugin translations. However, these three versions do not always exist; if the update content is minimal, some versions may be skipped, or a direct release may occur.

+
+Similar to the materials in Virtools, the lighting system in Virtools differs significantly from that in Blender.

Additionally, this panel includes an Apply button to apply the Virtools lighting settings to Blender's lighting.
+
+## Virtools Camera
+
+The BBP plugin adds a new property called Virtools Camera to all Blender cameras. You can find the Virtools Camera panel by navigating to the Data properties panel.
+
+![](../imgs/virtools-camera.png)
+
+Similar to the lights in Virtools, the cameraing system in Virtools differs significantly from that in Blender. The Virtools Camera acts as a bridge, accurately reflecting the settings of Virtools, allowing for seamless storage within Blender files and providing necessary data during import and export.
+
+However, unlike Virtools light, Virtools camera and the Blender camera system have a significant difference. Each Virtools camera can hold a different aspect ratio, such as 4:3, 16:9, etc.; while the Blender camera system does not hold this data, but instead stores it in the scene's rendering settings, where only a single value can be entered. To solve this problem, the "Apply" button in this panel only precisely maps properties other than Aspect Ratio to the Blender camera. For Aspect Ratio, a separate button called "Apply Resolution" is provided to reflect the resolution value in the scene's rendering settings. When you want to use the current camera as the viewpoint, click this button, apply the resolution, and then enter the camera's view to see the camera result that matches the Aspect Ratio.
+
+!!! tip "Specific Values ​​for Applying Resolution"
+    When applying resolution, we do not provide a function to specify the number of pixels on a particular side. Instead, we use a fully automatic algorithm to calculate a suitable resolution. Specifically: First, we obtain the LCM of the Aspect Ratio. Then, we find the first number greater than 1000 that is an integer multiple of that LCM, and use this as the number of pixels on the shorter side. Then, we calculate the number of pixels on the longer side proportionally. This algorithm guarantees that the calculated resolution will always be an integer.
+
+    1000 was chosen because it is a relatively moderate resolution size. However, this randomly selected fixed value also means that the final resolution may not be what the user wants. Users can adjust the resolution proportionally according to their needs.

+
+Snoop Group then to Mesh, fully referred to as: snoop and copy the Virtools Group infomations into corresponding curve object and convert it into mesh object. You can select certain objects and then right-click to find this function in the context menu of the object.
+
+This function, as its name, converts the selected object into a mesh. If the selected object is a curve and there is a beveled object set, the grouping information of the beveled object will be assigned to the current curve (overriding the curve's current grouping settings). If the selected object is not a curve, or if it is a curve but lacks a beveled object, then this function is basically the same as executing a conversion to mesh. This function is extremely useful in loft modeling, as it only requires the correct grouping of the section object, after which using this function to convert the curve to a mesh will ensure that the grouping of the lofted object is correct.
+
+## Game Camera
+
+Many map makers often lack a clear concept of the size of their maps when creating them, which can easily lead to the production of maps that are either too large or too small. The in-game camera function of the menu item `Ballance - Game Camera` offers a way to preview the map from the perspective of the in-game camera within Blender, allowing map makers to better grasp the dimensions of the map.
+
+In order to use this feature, there must first be a camera in your scene, set as the active camera of the scene (when no camera is present, a newly added camera through the add menu will be automatically set). Additionally, you will need an active object, which cannot be the same as this camera.
+
+!!! question "Why is it necessary to have active object?"
+    Due to the limitations of the Blender plugin, an active object is required since the in-game camera functionality supports targeting either the 3D cursor **or an active object**.
+
+    Typically, the situation where there are no active objects available only occurs in a blank Blender document, which consequently renders the functionality unavailable. In a custom map, there is no any lack of objects which can become active objects; simply clicking on any object is enough (when wishing to use the 3D cursor as a target).
+
+After clicking this function, the view will automatically switch to the perspective of the active camera, facilitating your preview. You can adjust the relevant settings in the panel located at the bottom left.
+
+![](../imgs/game-camera.png)
+
+First, select the target, which essentially means choosing the position of the player's ball. If 3D cursor is selected, it is treated as the origin of player's ball. If active object is selected, the player's ball is placed at the origin of the active object.
+
+!!! info "The position of the player's ball is not that straightforward."
+    Regardless of whether one chooses 3D cursor or active object, if no extremely fine adjustments are made, the preview results may have slight differences compared with in-game result.
+
+    When you use the 3D cursor mode and simply snap it to the ground, it does not represent the position of player ball. Since the radius of player ball is 2, you actually need to move 2 units in +Z direction to achieve the exact same perspective as in the game. However, this operation is too complex, and not performing this action does not cause a significant difference in the preview effect.
+
+    When using active object mode, it is important to note that the origin of the object corresponds to the position of the dot displayed in viewport when the object is selected. For most objects, this may not be what you desire, as they may be located inside or outside the object, and are not always positioned on the surface of the object or at the center of a particular face. To address this situation, I recommend using the 3D cursor as a target and, by entering edit mode, utilizing snapping and the `Shift + S` menu to place the cursor in the correct position.
+
+Next is the selection of the camera's rotation angles. We offer 8 common used in-game preset angles, corresponding to 4 each for 90 degrees camera and 45 degrees camera. Furthermore, if these preset angles do not meet your requirements, you can also set custom angles.
+
+Then, there is the selection of camera perspectives, which can be divided into 3 types: Ordinary (standard perspective), Lift (perspective activated by holding the spacebar), and Easter Egg (special Easter Egg perspective).
+
+Finally, there's the resolution option, where you can choose between Normal (normal game view) and Wide Screen (view after adding the widescreen patch). Generally, choosing the normal game view is sufficient; no special configuration is needed for widescreen. Furthermore, if this resolution option is not checked, the resolution of the currently selected camera will not be modified. Due to the implementation differences between Blender and Virtools cameras, the size of the Blender rendering window will also not be changed. For more information on this behavior, please refer to the "Virtools Camera" section on the [Virtools Properties](./virtools-properties.md) page.

+    自BBP 4.4版本开始，BBP不仅支持导出Mesh类型物体，还开始支持导出所有可转换为Mesh类型的物体，包括：Curve（曲线），Surface（表面），Font（字体）和Meta Ball（融球）。此前BBP仅支持Mesh类型物体的导出。通过该功能，用户不再需要将各类物体转换为网格之后再进行地图导出和测试，例如使用曲线放样得到花式钢轨的工作，现在可以直接在曲线状态进行导出，然后在游戏中进行可通关性的测试，测试完毕后再将其固化为网格，并添加相应材质。凭借该功能可大幅加速地图制作和调整速度。
+
+    额外的，自BBP 4.4版本开始，导出时也不再需要给物体应用修改器了。BBP在导出时会在一个类似“临时物体”的东西上应用所有修改器后再导出（你可以这么近似理解，实际实现并非如此）。该功能可为之后使用几何节点等修改器赋能Ballance地图快速创作打下坚实基础。

 如果你确定你已经设置了正确的贴图路径，你可以尝试点击菜单`Window - Toggle System Console`来打开控制台。在控制台中，可能会有一些相关的错误信息输出在其中，例如加载底层BMap库时失败等。加载底层BMap库失败通常只发生在一些罕见架构的机器上，例如使用Snapdragon处理器的Windows系统等，因为我们打包的插件中，并未包含支持这些平台的Virtools文件底层读取库BMap。在面对这种情况时，你有两个选择，一是汇报给开发者，等待开发者主动支持，二是自行编译该库（仅建议有丰富计算机知识的人这样做）。

+
+然而与Virtools灯光不同的是，Virtools摄像机与Blender摄像机系统还有一个巨大的差异。每一个Virtools摄像机均可持有一个不同的分辨率比例，例如4:3，16:9等；而对于Blender摄像机系统，Blender摄像机不持有这些数据，而转而将他们存储在场景的渲染设置中，该位置只能填写唯一的数值。为了解决该问题，该面板提供的应用按钮仅将除了Aspect Ratio以外的属性精准地映射到Blender摄像机之上；而对于Aspect Ratio，单独提供了一个名为Apply Resolution的按钮，用于将其反映到场景的渲染设置中的分辨率数值。当你想要义当前摄像机作为查看时，点击该按钮，应用分辨率后，再进入摄像机视角，就可以看到符合Aspect Ratio的摄像机结果了。
+
+!!! tip "应用分辨率时的具体数值"
+    在应用分辨率时，我们没有提供具体指定某一边像素个数的功能，我们转而使用全自动的算法来计算出一个合适的分辨率。具体而言是：首先取得Aspect Ratio的最小公倍数，然后找到第一个大于1000，且是其整数倍的数，作为短边的像素数，然后再以比例计算长边。该算法可保证计算出来的分辨率一定是整数。
+    
+    选取1000是因为1000是一个较为适中的分辨率大小。然而这种随机选定的固定值也决定了其最终分辨率可能并不是用户想要的，用户可酌情根据自身需要，按比率增减分辨率。
