Device outliner

The top section of the Device Editor is the device outliner. The device outliner lists the defined devices, the device structures, and what the devices are attached to. For information on how to use the device outliner, see Use the Device Editor.

This is the only way to view how devices attach to their target attributes. Since devices are not normal Maya dependency graph nodes, they do not appear in the regular Outliner or in the Hypergraph.

The devices and their attachments appear in the following order:

• The left-most items in the device outliner are the devices.
• The next level shows the axes, indented to indicate their positions in the device hierarchy.
• The final level shows the attachments between the device and an attribute.
