This dialog provides global options in regards to collapsing animation layers
on page 3164 and isolating the active layer from the rest.
Interface
Collapse To Sets the controller type for when you collapse a controller track
onto a non-keyable controller track, such as a Noise controller.
■ Bezier or Euler On collapse, the resulting track is assigned either a Position
XYZ controller (for a Position track), a Bezier Scale controller (for a Scale
track), or an Euler XYZ controller (for a Rotation track).
■ Linear or TCB On collapse, the resulting track is assigned either a Linear
controller (for Position and Scale tracks) or a TCB controller (for a Rotation
track).
■ Default On collapse, the resulting track is assigned a default controller
based on the original controller track. Refer to
Specifying Default
Controllers
on page 3110 for more details.
Per Frame Collapse Range Sets the range to cover when you collapse a layer.
NOTE For best results, turn off Collapse to Keys Only, When Possible; otherwise,
based on the collapsed layer's controller and tangent type, the system might
collapse to keys instead.
■ Current When chosen, a key is set on every frame of your scene's
animation range when you collapse a layer.
