This is a versatile component that can create, parent, and constrain 
TransformObject nodes in a rig.
See rigging a simple geometry and rigging a character for example uses of this component.
Parameters ¶
Setups
The number of transform drivers. Click 
beside Setups to create multiple drivers.
Settings ¶
Use Translate
When turned on, the translation of the driven node is affected by the driver.
Use Rotate
When turned on, the rotation of the driven node is affected by the driver.
Use Scale
When turned on, the scale of the driven node is affected by the driver.
Ignore Offset
When turned on, calculates offsets to keep the driven node at its world space position. When turned off, the driven is constrained to the driver’s position without offsets.
Offset Controls
When turned on, creates controls at the Driven Transforms, so you can move the driven nodes around.
Parent Constraint
When turned on, allows you to move the Driven Transforms around.
Driven ¶
Driven Transforms
The TransformObject nodes driven by the Driver. This parameter accepts APEX path patterns, so you can specify tags in this field, for example, #<tag>.
Control ¶
Driver
The name of the new/existing driver.
Driver Guide
When creating a new driver, this is the position of the driver. If driverguide is empty, the driver is placed at the origin. If the driver already exists in the hierarchy, the driver’s position is used, and driverguide is ignored.
This parameter accepts APEX path patterns, so you can specify tags in this field.
Driver Parent
The parent of the driver.
Make Control
When turned on, creates a control for the driver.
Promote T
When turned on, promotes the translate component of the driver. This allows you to see and adjust the driver’s translation in the animate state. See APEX graph controls for more information on promoting parameters.
Promote R
When turned on, promotes the rotate component of the driver. This allows you to see and adjust the driver’s rotation in the animate state.
Promote S
When turned on, promotes the scale component of the driver. This allows you to see and adjust the driver’s scale in the animate state.
Rord
The rotation order of the driver.
Xord
The transformation order of the driver.
Mode
Specifies how to apply the offset transformation to the driver.
Offset Transform
The initial translation of the driver.
Offset Rotate
The initial rotation of the driver.
Offset Scale
The initial scale of the driver.
Tags ¶
Shape ¶
The 
APEX Configure Controls SOP provides more options for changing the look of the controls.
Shape
The shape of the driver’s control. It can be set to any of the built-in APEX control shapes.
Color
The color of the driver’s control shape.
Translate
The translation of the driver’s control shape. This only affects the control shape, and not the actual TransformObject transforms.
Rotate
The rotation of the driver’s control shape. This only affects the control shape, and not the actual TransformObject transforms.
Scale
The scale of the driver’s control shape. This only affects the control shape, and not the actual TransformObject transforms.
