action |
Create/Override |
Describes the action to apply to the scene graph attribute: • Create/Override • Delete • Force Default |
attributeName |
N/A |
The name of the attribute to set. To set the attributeName, either enter the name of the attribute into the text field, or drag and drop an attribute from the Attributes tab into the text field. Note: When dropping a dragged attribute onto the attributeName field, the value is set to the full name of the dropped attribute, with names of ancestor groups separated by dots. For example, xform.translate. |
action: Create/Override |
||
attributeType |
double |
The type of the attribute to set. To set the attributeType, select a data type from the drop down menu, or drag and drop an attribute from the Attributes tab into the drop down field. Note: When dropping a dragged attribute onto the attributeType field, the value is set to the name of the dropped attribute's type, for example, float. The drop-down menu contains the following data types: • integer • double • float • string • group |
groupInherit |
Yes |
Decides whether or not implicitly-created groups are inherited lower in the scene graph hierarchy. For instance, creating foo.bar implicitly creates the group foo. This group is either inherited or not, depending on this parameter. |
