The Dete Trim Tool is a powerful plugin for Substance Designer that simplifies and streamlines the creation of trim sheets. It eliminates the need for complex node setups and manual blending, offering a more efficient and organized workflow.

---Key Features---

-Centralized Trim Management- Instead of using numerous Transform nodes, the Dete Trim Tool provides a single node for managing all trim segments. This reduces node clutter, speeds up your graph and simplifies adjustments.

-Flexible Configuration- Define the desired output resolution, number of trim segments, and individual heights for each segment. The tool automatically calculates optimal placement and spacing within the trim sheet.

-Helper Nodes- The tool comes with a suite of helper nodes that enable you to add various details and effects to your trims. These include random grayscale/color values, gradients, UVs, distance gradients, masks, and border profiles.

-Molding Profiles- The Dete Trim Profile node allows you to create elements with customizable molding on the top, bottom, or both sides. This speeds up the process when making trim details.

Shared Data - Once you've configured the initial trim node, you can share the setup data with other trim nodes in your graph.

---Benefits---

-Increased Efficiency- The streamlined workflow significantly reduces the time and effort required to create trim sheets.
-Improved Performance- By blending all trim elements within one contained node, the tool improves graph performance and readability.
-Enhanced Organization- The centralized management system makes it easier to maintain and tweak your trim sheets.
-Greater Creative Control- The flexible configuration options and helper nodes allow you to achieve highly detailed and unique trim sheets.

Overall, the Dete Trim Tool is a great asset for any Substance Designer user who works with modular environments. It offers a powerful and efficient way to create high-quality trim sheets while maintaining artistic control and optimizing performance.
