Modify hair follicles

If you want to edit attributes for a selection of follicles, do one of the following:

Edit the value in the Channel Box. All selected nodes of the same type will be affected by the edit. For example, turn on Braid for selected follicles.
Edit the nodes in the Attribute Spreadsheet. ( Window > General Editors > Attribute Spread Sheet)

Editing in the Attribute Editor only affects a single follicle, the lead selection.

Before editing, be sure to be either in the Start or Rest Position.

To edit the attributes of selected follicles

Select the desired follicle(s). See Select hair, follicles, curves, and CVs.
Modify the settings in the Attribute Editor, Channel Box or Attribute Spreadsheet. For descriptions of the follicle attributes, see follicleShape.
To see the changes you may have to play the simulation. See Play a hair simulation.
NoteWhile you can paint Hair Scale, Inclination, Roll, Polar, and Surface Inset, you cannot edit them in the follicle’s Attribute Editor. These attributes affect the transform on the Start curve. If you select the Start curve then you can easily edit the transform values. Inclination, Roll, and Polar are rotate XYZ. Surface Inset is the Z translate. Scale is the scale XYZ on the follicle node.
