Using the HUD
To add object parameters to the HUD:
 In the Attribute manager, select the parameters. (To select all the parameters,
choose Select All from the context menu).
 Right-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) one of the selected
parameters and choose Add To HUD from the context menu.
You can adjust the parameters directly in the HUD. Click-drag a parameter to adjust its value. In the
case of parameters that have drop-down menus, click the parameter to open its menu. Options that
have two states (on and off) are colored yellow when on — click an option to toggle its state.
You can also record animation keys directly in the HUD. This works in the same way as recording
parameters in the Attribute manager (see Chapter 21, ‘Attribute manager’): To record a key, Ctrl-
click the parameter’s circle. Ctrl-click again to remove the key. Ctrl-Shift-click the circle to delete the
parameter’s track including any keys assigned to it.
You can choose to display the same parameter multiple times in the view if you wish.
You can use the following keys in the HUD:
 Shift-click to multiple select HUD elements. Selected HUD elements are
highlighted with yellow boxes.
 Ctrl-double-click on a HUD element (name or value) to open a text box that
allows you to enter a new name or value for the element.
 Ctrl-drag to move a HUD element.
