Editing Motion Path with Axis Handles

Hi,

In the current set-up, I can edit motion path “dots” freely. Is there a way to edit them with axis handles for precise movements?

You can see what I am after in this illustration video (taken from Maya)

Is there a way around this?

Thank you.

Hi Ben,

Use the X, Y, Z keys, as mentioned earlier. This will restrict the movement.

All the best

Hi @Dr Sassi,

I understand that there is XYZ keys but is it possible to have the handles on this one?

Hi Ben,

I understood your question, and if I had any idea how to get an axis onto these animation dots, I would have told you.

Sorry, not to my knowledge.

Cheers

Sassi
