Adjusting Values in the Control Window
Some parameters allow values higher than the range of the slider. If you enter a number that
exceeds the possible value range, a dialog box will display the minimum and maximum
values for the parameter.
There are three ways to set and adjust values:
• Slider: Drag the slider or scrub the numerical field.
• Text box: Manually enter the values.
• Dial Control: Use the control to adjust the values for parameters measured in degrees,
such as angles or hue values around the color wheel. Drag the needle around the dial to
adjust the value.
Most dial controls have separate numerical fields for revolutions and degrees, allowing
you to animate parameters over values greater than 360°. If you enter 2 in the
Revolutions field, the object would rotate twice.
Dial Controls also include the following shortcuts:
- Press the Shift key to round to the nearest 45 degrees.
- Press Control to round to the nearest 10 degrees.
