Copying and Pasting Tr ack s
Biped’s Copy/Paste rollout on the Motion panel
provides controls for copying and pasting biped
tracks from one part of the biped to another, or
from one biped to a different biped. At the top of
this rollout are three buttons: Posture, Pose, and
Track.
This section covers the copying and pasting of
tracks. For information on the other options on
this rollout, see Copying and Pasting Postures and
Poses (page 2–910).
To copy and paste biped tracks, tur n on Tracks.
The remaining controls in the rollout change to
reflect that you are working with tracks:
