Motion Start

X-axis

If Blend-Point Number  = #1

•You CANNOT edit its X-axis value

•Its X-axis value is always equal to the Motion-Start value.

However:

If you attempt to increase its X-axis value (move it to the right) ...

... you increase the Segment-Width of the Previous-Segment* and decrease the Segment-Width of the Selected-Segment (see WARNING).

If you attempt to decrease its X-axis value (move it to the left) ...

... you decrease the Segment-Width of Previous-Segment* and increase the Segment-Width of the Selected-Segment (see WARNING).

* : in this special-case, the Previous-Segment is the last segment in the motion.

If you edit the X-axis value such that you bump a Blend-Point into an adjacent Blend-Point:

•the active Blend-Point AND the adjacent Blend-Point move together along the X-axis.

•AND the Segment-Width of the Previous-Segment (or Next-Segment) is then very short (e.g. 0.0000036 degrees) and invisible to you.

•AND the Motion-Width increases by a small amount (e.g. the Motion-Width increase to 360.0000036 degrees).

If you edit the X-axis value to separate the Blend-Points:

•the Motion-Width does not revert to 360 degrees.

You must use the Segment Editor to edit the Segment-Width of each segment to edit the Motion-Width. E.g., to make the Motion-Width equal to 360 again.

Blend-Point Number

The Blend-Point number is #3

X-axis value

Motion Start value is 0º.

X-axis value of Blend-Point #3 is 180º

You should edit the X-axis value of Blend-Point # 3 within these limits:

•Minimum > 90º - at Blend-Point number 2

•Maximum < 270º - at Blend-Point number 4

As you edit the X-axis value, the Blend-Point moves to the left(<) or to the right(>)
