Bone Tools: Fin Adjustment Tools Reference

Use controls on the Fin Adjustment Tools rollout for adjusting some aspects of bone geometry, including fins.

• Default menu: Animation menu > Bone Tools > Bone Tools dialog > Fin Adjustment Tools rollout
• Alt menu: Animation menu > Create (Animation Set) > Bone Tools > Bone Tools dialog > Fin Adjustment Tools rollout

Interface

Absolute/Relative

Choose how the numeric settings relate to one another:

• 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 selected bone's settings; these can then be pasted to another bone.

Paste

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

Width/Height

The bone's respective sizes.

Taper

Setting Taper to 0 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.

Fins

Use the checkboxes to toggle fins on the respective sides of the bones, and the numeric settings to control the fins' size and taper settings.
