    I have a bird rig that was nicely rigged with controllers. I like the basic position of the animation a lot, but the client is getting picky about the wing flap pacing. To adjust the dope sheet for the wings only, and not all the motion keys, I need to select all the controllers, which are 18 elements. Of course, to get this right takes a lot of back and forth. Each time I click off, I need to re-select each controller by hand. In past programs I worked with, you were able to create "selection sets," which would automatically select the designated controllers. I looked around a lot, and I couldn't find a similar option in Cinema. Perhaps "selection set" is not the correct wording, so I didn't find it. Is this possible in Cinema? it'd be a big help.

      Hi background-permit,

      Select your objects that need to be group-wise reselected.

      Then look in Main Menu> Select> Selection Filter> Create A Selection Object.

      This puts a new object into the Object Manager. Name it wisely.

          Thanks, background-permit, for the reply.

          Yes, I know that feeling, as I try to learn every month a new app or at least a new large update. That keeps that feeling fresh, and I stay in the mood as a learner. This helps me to keep a certain set of perspectives. Which I think is required to answer here. Long story short: I know that feeling only too well. 🙂

          Have a great day.
