The transformdriver component is a versatile component that can create, parent, and constrain TransformObject nodes in a rig.
Parameters ¶
guidesource
The guide skeleton that is used as a reference when creating new drivers (controls that drive the driven controls).
setups
Multiple drivers can be created by clicking 
beside setups.
Settings ¶
use_t
When turned on, the translation of the driven is affected by the driver.
use_r
When turned on, the rotation of the driven is affected by the driver.
use_s
When turned on, the scale of the driven is affected by the driver.
ignoreoffset
When turned on, offsets are calculated in order for the driven node to keep its world space position. When turned off, the driven is constrained to the driver’s position without offsets.
Driven ¶
driventransforms
The TransformObject nodes that are driven by the driver. This parameter accepts APEX path patterns, so you can specify tags in this field.
Control ¶
driver
The name of the new/existing driver.
driverguide
When creating new drivers, the driverguide is used to set the transform on the driver. If the driver already exists in the hierarchy, the driver’s position is used, and the driverguide is ignored. This parameter accepts APEX path patterns, so you can specify tags in this field.
driverparent
The parent of the driver.
makecontrol
When turned on, creates a control for the driver.
promotet
When turned on, promotes the translate component of the driver. This is needed in order to see and adjust the translate component of the driver in the animate state. See APEX graph controls for more information on promoting parameters.
promoter
When turned on, promotes the rotate component of the driver. This is needed in order to see and adjust the rotate component of the driver in the animate state.
promotes
When turned on, promotes the scale component of the driver. This is needed in order to see and adjust the scale component of the driver in the animate state.
rord
Sets the rotation order of the driver.
xord
Sets the transformation order of the driver.
Tags ¶
Shape ¶
shape
The shape of the control for the driver. It can be set to any of the built-in 
APEX control shapes.
scale
The scale of the control shape for the driver. This only affects the control shape, and not the actual TransformObject transforms.
color
The color of the control shape for the driver.
rotate
The rotation of the control shape for the driver. This only affects the control shape, and not the actual TransformObject transforms.
