class Interfaces.ART_EditRigUI.ART_EditRigUI(edit, add, parent=None)

This class builds a tool that allows a user to Edit a Rig or Add Character for Animation. Both functions use the same interface. The title and button text get swapped out depending on which situation has been called for by the A.R.T.2.0 menu.

__init__(edit, add, parent=None)

Parameters:

• edit – Whether or not the operation is to edit the rig.
• add – Whether or not the operation is to add the character for animation.

addSelected(*args)
