Lines Connection

Overview

Lines Connection generates procedural lines between selected layers (including Lights) using a single clean Shape Layer setup. Pick how layers connect (star, chain, nearest neighbors, etc.), choose a line style (straight, arc, wavy, zigzag…), and control color, fading, and trims—all while keeping everything organized in one grouped structure.

Features

• Connect AV layers and Lights using one Shape Layer
• 6 connection graphs:
• 5 line styles:
• Color modes:
• Distance-based fading:
• Optional Trim controls:
• Auto-resolves duplicate layer names
• Outputs a single Shape Layer: "Lines Connection — " with one group per connection

How to Use

1. Select at least two target layers (AV or Light). 2. Choose a Connection mode: - Star / All-to-all / Chain / Loop / Random / K-Nearest - For Random: set Max lines per node - For K-Nearest: set K 3. Choose a Line Style: - Straight - Arc → set Curvature - Wavy → set Amplitude / Frequency / Phase / Speed - Zigzag → set Amplitude - Elbow → set Bias 4. Choose Color mode: - For Gradient (Along Each Line): - Toggle Reverse Gradient if needed - Adjust colors via the "Gradient Colors" Tint 5. (Optional) Enable Distance Fade: - Turn on Fade Opacity and/or Fade Stroke Width - Set Max Distance, Fade Range, and minimum values 6. (Optional) Enable Trim: - Choose Side (Start/End) - Enable Trim for Each Layer to add LC Trim % sliders per target layer 7. Click Connect. The script creates a Shape Layer named "Lines Connection — " with groups like "Line A↔B".

Notes

• For large selections, K-Nearest is usually cleaner and faster than All-to-all.
• Distance fade is great for depth/space visuals and avoiding clutter.
• If you rename layers later, the tool’s name-resolving helps keep connections stable and readable.
