= Using LANPR engine =

Select LANPR as the render engine, and basically it’s done. This page is an overview of the UI and a general description of what those UI elements are for.

LANPR panel in the render tab
You can access the most frequently used parameters and operations from LANPR’s main panel in Render tab.

There are some configurations in sub panels too.

Options: Including global options for LANPR, including chaining and intersection switches.

Effects: This panel contains line taper and depth controlled style settings. Availability depends on the master mode of LANPR.

Normal Based Line Weight: This is another line effect which takes the surface normal into account, this could be used to generate fake lighting and some interesting thickness effects.

Other two tabs dedicated to LANPR
When you select LANPR as the render engine (or enable LANPR in other engines), there will be two new tabs available in the properties area. They both work for LANPR, and looks similar in content. One of them is for collection-specific settings in LANPR, and another one is for the object.

In these two tabs, you can set usage flags for active collection or object, and selecting line types, styles or GPencil targets as well. For how this works, please refer to selecting render content in LANPR
