Customize the hotbox

To change what functions are available in the hotbox

1. Hold the space bar to show the hotbox.
2. Press in the Hotbox Controls area to show the marking menu.
3. Drag down to the Hotbox Style submenu.
4. Select one of the following options:
   • Zones and menu rows: show all menus, as well as the “zones” containing marking menus above, below, left, and right of the hotbox.
   • Zones only: don’t show all menus.
   • Center zone only: only show the center marking menu. This makes the hotbox equivalent to a hotkey marking menu.

To change what extra menus are available in the hotbox

1. Hold the space bar to show the hotbox.
2. Press in the Hotbox Controls area to show the marking menu.
3. Drag left, right, up, or down to show submenus allowing you to either not show a menu set or only show that menu set.

You can set up Maya to hide the extra menu sets at the bottom of the hotbox, and show them as pop-up menus by pressing in the center of the hotbox.

To change the way you access the extra menus

1. Hold the space bar to show the hotbox.
2. Press in the Hotbox Controls area to show the marking menu.
3. Drag down to the Hotbox style submenu.
4. In the submenu, turn on the Center zone RMB pop-ups option.
