Tool Settings¶

Pose Options¶

Auto IK¶

Reference

Mode: Pose Mode
Panel: Sidebar ‣ Tool ‣ Pose Options ‣ Auto IK

The auto IK option in the Sidebar enables a temporary IK constraint when posing bones. The chain acts from the tip of the selected bone to root of the upper-most parent bone. Note that this mode lacks options, and only works by applying the resulting transform to the bones in the chain.

X-Axis Mirror¶

Reference

Mode: Edit and Pose Mode
Panel: Sidebar ‣ Tool ‣ Options ‣ X-Axis Mirror

This option enables automatic mirroring of editing actions along the X axis. You can enable this option in the Tool tab ‣ Options panel, while the armature is selected in Edit Mode. When you have pairs of bones of the same name with just a different 《side suffix》 (e.g. 《.R》/》.L》, or 《_right》/》_left》 …), once this option is enabled, each time you transform (move, rotate, scale…) a bone, its 《other side》 counterpart will be transformed accordingly, through a symmetry along the armature local X axis. As most rigs have at least one axis of symmetry (animals, humans, …), it is an easy way to keep the model symmetrical.

Relative Mirror¶

Reference

Mode: Edit and Pose Mode
Panel: Sidebar ‣ Tool ‣ Options ‣ Relative Mirror

Accounts for any relative transformations when using X-Axis Mirror.

Naming bones.

Known Limitations¶

Relative Mirror is not supported with Auto IK enabled.
