View Full Version : How to get an R9-ish F-Curve Display?

OK, the "Help" system is proving to be a bit of a dud on this one (there really needs to be a section on "What's new in R10" if there is, I would love to know where).

As you know, they eliminated the F-Curve Window (much to my chagrin) in R10, in favor of integrating it into the timeline. In the Manual, I see screen shots of an enlarged F-Curve view of the sort I am accustomed to working with.

Can someone tell me what I must to to get into said view?

Thanks,
Will

It's the icon on the far right hand side of the timeline window Will, looks like a key. Click this and the timeline swaps to the full f-curve view.

Otherwise just press the spacebar or check the menu's.

Spacebar!!! Brilliant. That makes life so much easier. I've been zipping back and forth to that little button all day

Perfect thanks!

Well, I did check the menus, but not knowing what it was called, that didn't help much ;). And I have Spacebar as my Play/Pause, so it is like every other app in existence. I will map a shortcut for it though.

You can add a second timeline to your layout that is set to f-curves.

Great Idea.

I almost forgot about the multiple Timeline and OM thing. ;)

Yeah ok... maybe obvious to those of you who have been living with this puppy for a little while. But this is my first full day with the program, and in looking for quick answers in the documentation, I found none. Therefore, I came to the forum and asked. That is the, last time I checked, the whole idea behind places like this.

Don't worry, it wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at the person who assigned the icons to the different TL modes. ;)

;) gotcha... well in retrospect it makes sense.. and if I were in "playing around getting familiar with the changes" mode, I probably would have pushed every button to see what it does, but since I was trying to crank out project 1 so I can finish project 2, and then finally start on project 3 which is already a week behind.. well you know. :p
