The model is displayed in shaded mode.
Expand a DAG node in the action lister
How to expand a DAG node in the action lister.
If a DAG node is grouped above a hierarchy of other DAG nodes, you can display its descendant nodes by clicking the expand item button next to the node. If you want to expand the complete hierarchy down to the leaf level, hold and select the expand item button.
To repeat the same operation on many items
You can do the same operation on many items in the lister at once by selecting all of them, then doing the action to one of them. For example, you can:
To switch a pick function while in the Action window
When you are in any function in the Action window, you can temporarily enter the Pick function by holding down the key. For example, if you have selectedTransform > Move in the Action Window, hold down the key and click some keyframes to select or deselect them, then release the key and continue with your Transform > Move operation.
You can also use a box to pick Action Window elements. For example, if you are in Transform > Randomize in the Action Window, and you want to change the selection of keyframes to be randomized, hold down the key and drag a box around picked keyframes to unpick them, or new keyframes to pick, then randomize.
For Animation > Editors > Deformation Control, if you choose CHARACTER BUILDER from the Frame Type menu and toggle Bulging ON, you can edit the bulge definitions in the Bulge Section Editor.
When editing in either the Bulge Selection Editor or Section Editor, you can add new sections or key points by holding the key and clicking and dragging to a new position.
You can delete sections or key points by holding down the (Windows) or (Mac) key and clicking and dragging to the section or key point you want to delete.
How to export the animation channels from your model to use in other models.
