Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 194)

Display Inset View: A pop-up menu that lets you control whether the Inset view appears
on transform changes, on all changes, or manually. Inset View must be enabled in the
View menu or View pop-up menu for the Inset view to appear.
• On Transform Change: The Inset view appears when adjusting an object’s transform
parameters such as position, rotation, or scale.
• On All Changes: The Inset view appears when making adjustments specific to an object,
such as adjusting the parameters of a replicator, in the HUD or Inspector.
• Manually: When this option is selected, the Inset view is displayed all the time.
Inset view
Inset View Size: Use the slider to adjust the size of the Inset view.
Default New Group Type: Use this pop-up menu to specify whether new groups are
created as 2D or 3D groups. When set to Automatic, Motion determines the type of group
that is created based on the project. For example, when Automatic is selected and you
are working in a 3D project, new groups are 3D. If you are working in a 2D project (no
camera), new groups are 2D.
3D Grid
This area of the 3D Preferences pane lets you modify settings for the grid that appears
in the Motion 3D workspace.
3D Grid Spacing: Specifies the spacing between grid lines, in pixels.
Primary Grid Color: Lets you set the color of the main grid lines. The main grid lines
appear slightly heavier than the secondary grid lines.
Secondary Grid Color: Lets you set the color of the secondary grid lines (the lines that
appear within the main grid lines).
