State

The subnode state is the status of the visibility and active status of the subnodes in the 3D Graph view.

The default state for the subnodes will either be visible or invisible depending on the visibility of the subnode when originally exported from the 3D software.

The different subnodes are the following:

  • Default: This state will display the 3D model in the Camera view how they were originally exported from a 3D software. There are two default states:

    • Default Visible : The subnode element was visible when exported from a 3D software allowing it to be visible in the Camera view.

    • Default Invisible : The subnode was invisible when exported from a 3D software making the subnode element invisible in the Camera view.

      NOTE Any bones that are set to Default Invisible will need to be toggled to visible to be seen when the Show 3D Bone Controls is active.

  • Visible : The subnode is visible in the Camera view.

  • Invisible : The subnode is hidden in the Camera view.

  • Enabled : The subnode is active and will be visible in the Camera view if also set to visible.

  • Disabled : The subnode is inactive and will be hidden in the Camera view regardless if set to visible or hidden.

TIP To reset the subnode state back to default, click the subnode state icon while pressing Alt.
