Creating a 2-Rank nozzle

If you want to create a 2-Rank nozzle, such as a nozzle with a two-dimensional progression, you need to set up the nozzle images accordingly. Unlike 1-Rank nozzles, nozzles of two and three ranks cannot be created from a layer group. You must build these nozzles manually. The indexing system requires the nozzle images to fit in a grid. You can create a nozzle file by setting up a grid and placing an image element at the center of each cell.

The cell size is based on the smallest rectangle that will hold the largest image element (including its selection). To make sure that your images fit in the grid, copy your largest image element to a layer. After you have set up the nozzle images in the grid, you can build your nozzle. For more information, see Creating and deleting layers.

To paint with your new nozzle file, you’ll need to load it first. For more information, see To load a 1-Rank nozzle file.
