Interface

Absolute

Sets the fin parameters as absolute values. Use this option to set the same fin values for all selected bones.

Relative

Sets the fin parameters relative to their current values. Use this option to retain size relationships between bones with different-sized fins.

Copy

Copies the bone and fin settings for the currently selected bone, in preparation for pasting to another bone.

Paste

Pastes the copied bone and fin settings to the currently selected bone.

Bone Objects group

Width

Sets the width of the bone.

Height

Sets the height of the bone.

Taper

Adjusts the taper of the bone shape. A Taper with a 0 value produces a box-shaped bone. Higher values pinch the bone where it joins its child bone, while lower values expand that end of the bone.
