Bakes the active control-rig clip to a skeleton clip ("<name> (baked)") — exportable to FBX/GLB and playable without the rig.

Removes all currently selected keyframes from their curves. Select keyframes in the graph editor first.

Zooms the graph editor to show the full playback time range, from the start frame to the end frame.

Toggles weight locking on selected keyframes. When locked, tangent weight handles cannot be dragged.

Advances the playback time by one frame (1/fps seconds).

Starts or stops animation playback.

Moves the playback time back by one frame (1/fps seconds).

Opens the Retarget wizard (non-modal): queue foreign animation files with per-file validation, auto-map their skeletons onto the rig, and bake retargeted clips. The viewport stays interactive while it is open.

Sets keyframes on all 9 transform channels (translate XYZ, rotate XYZ, scale XYZ) for every selected control at the current time.

Creates keyframes on all channels of the selected controls at the current playback time. Uses the default tangent type from editor settings.

Sets the tangent type to Auto (Catmull-Rom) on all selected keyframes. Auto tangents smoothly interpolate between neighboring keys.

Sets the tangent to flat (horizontal) on all selected keyframes. Creates a plateau effect at each key.

Sets the tangent type to Linear on all selected keyframes. Linear tangents create straight-line interpolation between keys.

Sets the tangent type to Plateau on all selected keyframes. Plateau tangents auto-clamp to prevent overshooting neighboring key values.

Sets the tangent type to Step on all selected keyframes. Step tangents hold the value constant until the next keyframe.

When auto-key is enabled, moving/rotating/scaling controls automatically creates keyframes at the current time.

Opens the Bake Animation popup in the timeline bar. Samples curves at uniform frame intervals and replaces original keyframes with baked ones using Auto tangents.

Opens the Bake → Skeleton popup in the timeline bar. Samples the LIVE composited skeleton pose — the active clip with ALL animation layers and constraint/space-switch results — and appends a fresh self-contained skeleton clip; a skeleton-kind clip is copied with a notice.

Opens the Bake Between popup in the timeline bar. Finds the nearest keyframes left and right of the current playhead and fills the gap with baked keys.

Opens the Bake Infinity popup in the timeline bar. Samples the pre and post infinity regions of curves into real keyframes, then sets infinity modes to Constant.

Opens the Bake Scene popup in the timeline bar. Bakes ALL curves in the active clip over the full playback range. Always prompts for confirmation.

Opens the Bake Space popup in the timeline bar. Re-expresses the selected controls' animation into a chosen space (world / parent / control / bone / object) across a frame range while preserving the world result; supports snap-to-space, on-existing-keys density, dynamic switch handling, and the Convert-to-World / Rebase-to-Parent retarget presets.

Copies all 9 TRS channels from the first selected control. Paste retargets to the current selection.

Copies all selected keyframes to the animation clipboard for later pasting.

Copies the current values of all channels on selected controls at the current time. If no controls are selected, copies all controls.

Opens the Copy/Paste popup. Smart copy collects from selected keys, timeline range, or selected controls. Smart paste retargets to different controls by property name.

Opens the Pose popup. Copy Pose snapshots all TRS values. Paste Pose restores values. Mirror to Left, Mirror All, and Mirror to Right flip poses across the YZ symmetry plane. Creates keyframes only when auto-key is on.

Copies selected keyframes to the clipboard and deletes them from the curve.

Exports the active clip (or named clips) as a .abclip file — native AB clip data, re-importable onto any asset by clip id.

Opens a .abclip file and merges its clips into the shared asset: same-id clips are replaced, new clips append.

Pastes keyframes from the clipboard at the current playhead time.

Pastes the copied pose at the current playhead time. Always targets the original clipboard controls.

Opens the Sculpt Keys brush in the graph editor. LMB drag pushes keyframe values within the brush radius. Shift+LMB smooths values toward neighbors. Adjust radius with Ctrl+Scroll.

Mirror the current control selection to its opposite side.

Detects mirror pairs via rig naming conventions (L_/R_ prefixes or .L/.R suffixes). Unpaired controls stay unchanged.

Show or hide the selection sets timeline bar.

Selection sets let you save named control groupings and restore them with one click. Create and edit sets via the widget itself.

Opens the Set Inbetweens popup in the timeline bar. Redistributes selected keyframes with equal frame spacing. First key stays, subsequent keys are spaced by the gap value.

Open any supported project or 3D file.

Supported formats: GLB, GLTF, OBJ, FBX, PLY, STL, ABC, STEP, .abasset, .controlrig

Requires: At least 1 component selected

Select edges where the angle between adjacent faces exceeds a threshold.

Opens a dialog to set the angle threshold in degrees.

Select elements with similar properties to the current selection.

Opens a dialog to choose property (area, perimeter, normal angle) and threshold.

Select faces by vertex count (triangles, quads, n-gons).

Opens a dialog to choose face side count and comparison operator.

Select the shortest path between two elements.

Not available from Quick Functions. Use Ctrl+Shift+Click on two elements in the viewport.

Shrink the current component selection.

Removes the boundary components of the selection island, leaving only the interior.

Requires: ≥1 component selected

Import skin weights from a previously saved .json file.

Weights are matched by joint name. For different topology, position-space or UV-space transfer is used.

Requires: Skinned mesh

Export skin weights to a .json file.

Includes joint names, per-vertex weights, bind-pose positions, and UVs for topology-independent transfer.

Requires: Skinned mesh

Transfer skin weights between meshes using proximity-based falloff.

Source and target meshes are chosen in the dialog that opens. Use this to propagate rigging from one mesh to another, or to consolidate weights after a topology change.

Requires: At least 2 skinned meshes

Slice mesh with a plane.

Opens an interactive popup with plane axis, offset, fill, and clear controls.

Activate the Draw Curve tool.

Click to place connected line segments. Snaps to vertices, edge midpoints, and face centers.

Shift = 15° snap. Enter = confirm curve. Esc = cancel.

Curves register as scene objects in the Outliner.

Export every mesh in the scene to GLB, GLTF, OBJ, FBX, PLY, or STL.

Included: geometry, skeleton (bones + bind poses), materials (with textures where the format supports them).

Not included: animation timeline — switch to the Previewer if you need to export with animation.

Hotkey: Ctrl+Shift+E Available in: Model Editor.

Export only the selected meshes to GLB, GLTF, OBJ, FBX, PLY, or STL.

Included: selected mesh geometry, their skeleton (bones + bind poses), and materials (with textures where the format supports them).

Not included: unselected meshes or animation timeline.

Requires: 1+ meshes selected in Object mode Available in: Model Editor.

Import a 3D model into the Model Editor.

Supported: GLB, GLTF, OBJ, FBX, PLY, STL, STEP.

Included: geometry, skeleton (bones + bind poses), materials (with textures where the format provides them). The import merges into the active scene; for project-level open use the Shared Asset I/O "Open File" entry instead.

Available in: Model Editor.

Activate the Knife Tool.

Click to place cut points on edges, press Enter to cut.

Make the selected mesh a live surface for snapping.

Other tools (Quad Draw, transforms) can snap to this mesh's surface.

Requires: Exactly 1 object selected

Activate the Quad Draw retopology tool.

Draw new quad topology over an existing mesh surface.

Requires: 1 mesh selected as reference surface

Remesh with Instant Meshes, QuadWild, or AutoRemesher.

Converts mesh to clean quad or triangle topology. Instant Meshes: fast greedy approach. QuadWild: field-guided optimal quad layout. AutoRemesher: global-parameterization quad layout — best organic edge flow (runs in the background, cancellable).

Requires: 1+ objects selected

Slice mesh with a drawn line.
