In-View Editor

To toggle the display of the In-View Editors, select Display > Heads Up Display > In-View Editors.

Lets you adjust attributes directly in your scene instead of opening the Channel Box or Attribute Editor.

After creating a polygon primitive or performing many common modeling operations, the In-View Editor displays a customizable subset of a node's attributes, letting you focus on the attributes you use the most.

Note: After creating a polygon primitive, you must activate the Show Manipulator Tool (Hotkey: T) before the In-View Editor appears.

All of the attributes in the Channel Box can be adjusted in the In-View Editor. Locking an attribute in the Channel Box also locks it in the In-View Editor.
