Tracking a column's movement

---

To create a column that tracks the movement of another existing column:

1. Create the new column by adding the relevant node to the Scene Graph

2. Create a keyframe at the start of the new column.

3. Make the keyframe ratioed.

4. Fill in the Ratio Panel as follows:

• Choose the Source Column from the scrollable list.

• Leave the Ratio set to the default value of 1.

• Leave the Lock Frame set to the default value of 1.

• Set the Lock Value to the value you wish the new column to have at frame 1.

• Click on the OK button.

If you prefer, you can set the lock value for a different lock frame - for example, one where it's important to correctly register to another drawing.

The new ratioed column now has a single keyframe that makes its movement follow that of the source column for the entire scene.
