Controller type icons in the curve editor and the motion panel

[Anonymous]

Before max 2017 we had different icons for different controllers in the curve editor and the motion panel but that was taken away in 2017. When having complex setups, i.e. list controllers with script controllers and expression controllers and so on, its harder to identify a controller you want to edit. We should at least have an option to turn them on or off.

Viewing Controller Types

You can view the controller type assigned to a parameter in both the Curve Editor and in the Motion panel. Before you can view the controller types in Track View, you must do the following:

1. On the Curve Editor toolbar, click the Filters icon. Then in the Filters dialog  Show group, turn on Controller Types.

   You can then see the name of the Controller type in the Hierarchy view.

2. Assign controllers to parameters. You can do this on the Assign Controller rollout of the Motion panel, or through the right-click menu in the Hierarchy list in Track View.

The Parameters mode of the Motion panel always displays the transform controller types for the selected object.
