Make Controller Unique

Make Controller Unique converts an instanced clone of a controller to a copy that's unique to the current object. Objects and modifiers can also be made unique.

• Track View > Controllers Toolbar > (Make Controller Unique)
• Track View > Highlight a controller track in the Controller window. > Edit menu > Controller submenu > Make Unique

The result depends on whether or not the data flow branches at the selected container:

• If the data flow does not branch anywhere below the selected container, nothing happens.
• If the data flow does branch at or below the selected container, the data flow above the branch is split from the current data flow as a unique object. The data flow from the selected container to the driver object is copied and attached to the new unique object.

All the Controller tools can also be found on the Controllers toolbar, which is hidden by default. Right-click any blank area of the Track View toolbar, then choose Show Toolbars > Controllers: Track View to display the buttons for Assign, Copy, Paste, Delete Controller, and Make Controller Unique.

Procedures

To convert an instanced controller to a unique one:

1. Highlight an instanced controller.

2. On the Controllers submenu of the Track View Edit menu, choose Make Unique, or press U on the keyboard.

   Tip: If you have instanced modifiers you can make them unique by choosing the modifier in the modifier stack, right-clicking and choosing Make Unique.
