Re-naming constraints?

You can also presumably at least rename the custom parameter slider, so
you do have a renamed proxy.

Not yet. Chalk it up to another request in waiting. While it seems a
simple request on the surface, it's actually a difficult one to
implement.

For your particular situation, I almost always set my FK constraint
first, then my IK constraint second. That way I know that the constraint
with the [1] at the end of the name is linked to IK, and that's the one
I want to control with the blend slider. I always add a custom parameter
slider to control the blend. It takes literally 5 seconds to set one up
using drag and drop. :-)




Hi all,



Anyone know if it is possible to rename constraints? I have an IK and FK
pose constraint, and it would help to distinguish them apart...



Cheers guys and gals



Jamie
