The Manual Entry Bar

The optional Manual Entry bar is located at the bottom of the Animator window, and enables you to manipulate geometry objects by typing in numerical values, instead of using gizmos in the Scene View.

The contents of the Manual Entry bar change depending on the button last selected from the Animator toolbar.

You can toggle the Manual Entry bar on and off by using the Options Editor.
