Attribute Editor Tab Management

[Tim L]

Hey!

Situation:

I have a set of 'claws' (like fingers - five on each paw - like fingers and thumb) grouped as left and right groups. In the Attribute Editor each of the claws has an array of tabs organizing information about the specific geometry. One set of claws was created by duplicating the other with a (-1) value in the X-scale channel. For some reason, some of the claws show an extra tab, 'hyperGraphLayout', and some don't show this tab. When checking the geometry after the duplication process all claws on one paw had this tab, while the claws on the other paw had none. However, the simple act of selecting claws to view their attributes in the Attribute Editor caused some of the new claws to suddenly begin displaying this extra tab where none had been before. I'm suspicious of inconsistent display.

Questions:

Should all of my claws show the same number and types of tabs? Is their a way to either make all claws show this 'hyperGraphLayout' tab or delete the tab from all of them? Does it matter? I'm trying to clean up the geometry so when I get error messages down the road I can eliminate certain factors such as inconsistent geometry. Any thoughts? Also, what does it mean when some geometry shows a 'tweak' tab?

Thanks.
