Parameter Bookmarks

Updated: 08/25/2022

This function displays a list of parameters related to the right-clicked position of the model in the animation process in a Pop-up window or as a label.
Even models with many parameters can be narrowed down to the parameters you want to display, allowing you to create animations efficiently.
(It can also be used for Form Animation.)

Parameter Bookmarks can be accessed by right-clicking on the model in the Animation View; a Pop-up will appear from the menu.
