Selecting Event Markers

Event markers are selected by clicking them. Selected event markers appear red. You can select multiple event markers by holding down the Shift key while clicking each marker icon. However, multiple selections must be from only one timeline.

When you select an event marker, it does not automatically move the Current Time pointer to that position on the timeline. If you hold down the Command key (Macintosh) or the Ctrl key (Windows) while clicking an event marker, the time pointer moves to that position, and all modeling views redraw to show the model at that point in time.

Deleting Event Markers

To delete an event marker, select it, then select the Delete Event Marker from the Plus menu on the Project window. You can also delete a selected marker with the Delete key.

Adjusting The Spacing Between Event Markers

You can proportionally increase or decrease the spacing between event markers. Just select the event markers you want to adjust, then hold down the Control key (Macintosh), or the right mouse button (Windows) and grab and drag any of the selected markers. All of the selected event markers maintain their relative distances between each other as they are spread out or compressed along the timeline.

Editing Event Markers

You can grab an event marker on the timeline in the Project window and drag it to a new position anywhere along its timeline. Or, you can change its position in the Event Options dialog.

Event Options Dialog

You can move an event marker to a precise position on the timeline in the Event Options dialog. Double-click the event marker on the timeline, or select the event marker, then select the Edit Event Marker command from the Plus menu of the Project window.

This allows you to move the event marker, along with all its associated data, to any location on the timeline. Enter the time in the entry field, or use the arrows to scroll to the time where you want the event marker placed.
