The control(s) that are affected by the configurations in this section. The group pattern is based on the APEX path pattern syntax.

The control shape to use for the controls in Control Group. The drop-down menu provides a list of pre-shipped control shapes. If a shape library is provided as the second input to this node, Shape Override can refer to one of the shapes in the shape library.

Defines if the transformation is applied as a pre- or post-multiplication of the current transformation.

The local translate offset applied to the control shapes.

The local rotate offset applied to the control shapes.

The local scale offset applied to the control shapes.

The path to a .png image to use as the clickable image for the control.

When turned on, the pixel size of the image is clamped at the minimum and maximum pixel values specified in Pixel Size Min/Max as you zoom in and out in the viewport. This parameter is available when Use Screen Space Position is turned off.

When Use Pixel Size Min/Max is turned on, this is the minimum and maximum pixel size of the image as you zoom in and out in the viewport. If you set the minimum and maximum pixel size to the same value, the image is not scaled with the distance to the camera.

When turned on, positions the image within the 2D positional space of the camera. When turned off, positions the image in world space.

When Use Screen Space Position is turned on, this is the pixel size of the image in screen space.

The x and y offset to the image’s pivot in screen space. When Use Screen Space Position is turned on, an offset of (0, 0) places the image at the bottom left corner of the viewport.

The angle in degrees that the image is rotated.

The “priority” of the control that determines the draw order for images. A control with a higher depth value is drawn on top of one with a lower depth, for example, a control with depth 2 is drawn on top of a control with depth 1. This is important for drawing overlapping controls in screen space or controls with the same pivot.

When turned on, the control is always visible at the border of the screen even if the control pivot is outside the screen space.

The color of the controls.

The primitives to use as the skin control.

Limits a set of control parameters to a specified range. This can be helpful for ensuring that the anatomy or behavior of a character is not broken by its animation. The limits are stored on the TransformObject properties dictionary inside the rig.

There are two kinds of limits:

• Locked limits are always enforced in the animate state. The only way to override locked limits is to modify the rig.

• Soft limits can be suppressed via the Enforce Transform Limits option in the animate state settings.

The name of the control parameter to set limits on. Select the parameter value type from the drop-down menu. The available options are Float and Vector3.

When turned on, sets the minimum soft limit value.

When turned on, sets the maximum soft limit value.

When turned on, sets the minimum locked limit value.

When turned on, sets the maximum locked limit value.

When turned on, promotes the translate component of the controls.

When turned on, promotes the rotate component of the controls.

When turned on, promotes the scale component of the controls.

The path to the selection set. In the drop-down menu to the right, select whether to Add, Remove, or Replace the controls in the selection set. You can also use the color chip to choose a color for the set.

When turned on, sets the controls in this selection set to be visible ().

The pivot’s rotation along the X, Y, and Z axes.

The pivot’s translation along the X, Y, and Z axes.

When turned on, renames the joints on the guide skeleton, Guide Source. This can be used to correct an incoming skeleton to match the new node name.

When turned on, updates the promoted port names in the rig graph to match the new control names.

The number of groups of controls to rename. Renames are performed from top to bottom. Renames further down the list will overwrite the entries before it. Renames further down the list will also use any updated names, not the original names.

The controls to rename. This parameter accepts APEX path patterns, so you can specify tags in this field, for example, #L_arm.

When turned on, uses a pattern to rename the nodes. For example:

• To rename hand_l to L_hand, set Find to *_l, and Replace to L_*.

• To rename arm_l_ik to L_arm_ik, set Find to *_l_*, and Replace to L_*_*.

• When using more than one *, the values are stored in an ordered list and can be recovered using an index, for example, *(0), *(1), etc. For example, to rename arm_l_ik to L_ik_arm, set Find to *_l_*, and Replace to L_*(1)_*(0).

When Use Pattern is turned off, this is the new name for the controls.

When Use Pattern is turned on, this is the pattern to replace.

When Use Pattern is turned on, this pattern replaces the pattern in Find.

The prefix to add to the new name.

The suffix to add to the new name.

The string used to join the Prefix and Suffix with the new name.

For non-zero values, appends a number with this many digits to the new name. For example, to rename pelvis, spine*, neck, and head to spine<number>:

• Set Group to “pelvis spine* neck head”.

• Set Rename to spine.

• Setting Padding to 1 renames the controls to spine1, spine2, etc. Setting Padding to 3 renames the controls to spine001, spine002, etc.

The image for the picker button that toggles the controls of highest importance (LOD1).

The image for the picker button that toggles the intermediate (LOD2) controls.

The image for the picker button that toggles the controls of lowest importance (LOD3).

The image for the picker button that switches to the first shape level of detail.

The output geometry shapes that are evaluated and displayed at the first shape level of detail, specified by a .shp path. Separate multiple patterns with spaces.

The image for the picker button that switches to the second shape level of detail.

The output geometry shapes that are evaluated and displayed at the second shape level of detail, specified by a .shp path. Separate multiple patterns with spaces.

The image for the picker button that switches to the third shape level of detail.

The output geometry shapes that are evaluated and displayed at the third shape level of detail, specified by a .shp path. Separate multiple patterns with spaces.

The group of controls represented by the image button. The drop-down menu lists the available *config subnets on the rig (representing the different rig components on the rig). This parameter accepts APEX path patterns.

The color applied to the image button.

The path to the .png image for the image button.

The path to an optional .png image drawn as a title or label above the image button.
