1: Aligns the selected silhouettes to the view of your 3D viewport.

2: Tracks the selected silhouettes to the camera selected in the field bellow.

3: Pointer to the camera you wish to track the silhouettes to.

4: Unlocks / Locks X and Y rotation. While working with silhouettes you usually don't want to rotate them on X and Y axes because doing so can break the illusion of depth and perspective, making the 2D asset feel out of place or inconsistent within the 3D environment.

5: Flips selected silhouettes horizontally (not visible in solid view even if the viewport color setting is set to texture).

6: Flips selected silhouettes vertically (not visible in solid view even if the viewport color setting is set to texture).

7: Changes the color of the active silhouette and any duplicates/instances of the same silhouette (not visible in solid view even if the viewport color setting is set to texture).

8: Sets the viewport shading to solid view and changes the viewport color settings to texture to enable working with silhouettes in solid view (any flips or color changes to the silhouettes are not visible in this view).

9: Enables / Disables specular lighting in the solid views shading settings. Enabling it help to see the edges of any overlapping silhouettes while working on your scene. 

10: Controls the maximum number of transparent bounces in Cycles. Having multiple silhouettes in close proximity of each other may cause some visual glitches if this number is too low.
