MotionBuilder Interface

As with most software, MotionBuilder, includes standard interface items that let you perform general tasks.

For example, you can use the MotionBuilder menu bar to open recently saved files, select keyboard configurations, create custom layouts, and access the MotionBuilder Help. You can use the Preferences window to customize the MotionBuilder settings.

This section discusses the basic interface of MotionBuilder and includes topics on the MotionBuilder menu bar, setting Preferences, and creating custom layouts.

This section also discusses common interface items that consist of windows, fields, or other interface items that appear in more than one place within MotionBuilder.

There are minor differences in how the MotionBuilder user interface displays on various system layouts (i.e. monitor resolution of 1280, 1024, or 1600).

Note

The screenshots shown were taken from MotionBuilder running the Windows XP operating system with the monitors set at a resolution of 1280 x 1024. Therefore, the screenshots may not match how the MotionBuilder user interface is displayed on your system.

The following common interface items are discussed.
