Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

At the moment, the parameter interface in Forma only supports the following parameter types:

  • Number Sliders
  • Value Lists and Dropdowns
  • Booleans
  • Text

Other inputs will not appear in the Forma parameter interface and, therefore, always bear their default values.

Additionally, using the structured curve input lets you use the polygon drawing tool of Forma.
