IK Display Options Rollout (HI Solver)

Here are the controls to turn on and off a variety of gizmos in the viewport. The Goal and End effectors, the vector handle of the swivel angle manipulator, and the IK solver display itself, are all located in this rollout.

Procedures

To see multiple IK solvers in a single chain:

  1. In a chain with multiple IK solvers, select a goal in the viewport.
  2. In the IK Display Options rollout, turn on IK Solver Display Enabled.
  3. Select a second goal and repeat the process.

    Each goal's display remains on whether it is selected or not.
