Lets you tag a rig's or skeleton's control elements that are used for animation. Tags are used to create a map (template) for that rig so that when you retarget animation, Softimage uses this tag information to map the animation correctly to the rig's parts.
The rig or skeleton must first be in a model structure, and it must be in a T-pose before tagging. A rig or skeleton must be tagged before you can retarget animation on it.
For more information, see Tagging a Rig's Elements [ Character Animation ].
To display: Select any part of a skeleton or rig that's in a model and choose Tools 
MOTOR Tag Rig from the Animate toolbar.
Tags the main elements of the rig.

Defines the type of structure of the selected rig or skeleton: Biped, Quadruped, Biped Fingers, or Biped Footroll. Click the Edit button beside this text box to open the structure file in a script editor. See Creating and Editing Structure Files [ Character Animation ] for information. |
| Load |
Loads an existing tag template file (.tagt) that you can apply to this rig. The structure used in this template must match the structure of the rig to which you want to apply it. See Loading an Existing Tag Template [ Character Animation ] for more informations. |

| Rig Element Buttons |
Click a rig element button, then select the corresponding rig element in a viewport or explorer to tag that element. These elements are the ones onto which animation will be mapped. Click the S button beside each rig element button to select the corresponding element on your rig or skeleton. This makes it easy to check which elements are tagged as what.
