Control-Button 'States and Patterns'

Blend-Point Editor Control-buttons

Whether you can control the motion-values of a Blend-Point is a function of the:

A.Motion-Law

B.Motion-Derivative

C.Control-Buttons states

You must understand how to use the Control-Buttons in the Blend-Point Editor (and the Segment Editor).

CONTROL-BUTTONS

Each motion-derivative (P V A J) has three Control-Buttons.

Each Control-Button has different states. Please read carefully the definitions in this table.

 

Definition:

MT-BPE-EditEnd

Do edit End (motion-value) of Previous-Segment : It is possible and Do control the motion value
