Panel finishes & sizing
The three fixed PCB finishes and the fixed panel dimensions zpd designs against.
Three fixed finishes
A zpd panel is a real PCB, and its visual "colors" are actual fabrication layers, not arbitrary UI colors. Every panel uses the same three finishes:
| Finish | PCB fab layer |
|---|---|
| Black | Soldermask |
| Gold | Exposed copper, ENIG-plated |
| White | Silkscreen |
This palette is fixed — there is no fourth color and no custom-color mode. See The 3-color palette for the exact color indexes and hex values used in the editor.
Panel width: HP
Panel width is specified in HP, the Eurorack-style horizontal-pitch unit. zpd does not compute width as a simple HP * 5.08mm multiple — real Takazudo Modular panels are undersized against that nominal pitch for mounting clearance, so each supported HP has its own measured width. See Panel sizing for the full width table.
Panel height: fixed at 3U
Panel height is not configurable — every panel is 128.5 mm, the fixed 3U Eurorack panel height. There is no height field in the editor because there is nothing to choose.
Info
Width (via HP) and height (fixed) together define the panel's fabrication bounding box. Layers are free-form within that box, but the box itself is never a design choice — it is Takazudo Modular's product spec.
