Quick View
Quick View is a mode that arranges all containers in a grid facing the viewport for easy overview and adjustment. When you exit, the original container positions and orientations are restored.
Start and Exit

- The Quick View button in N Panel > GUI tab
- The Q button in the tool header while in Pose Mode
- Keyboard shortcut:
C
Exit
- The Exit Quick View button
- The Exit Quick View button in the tool header

Note
C works as a toggle. It exits Quick View when already active, and starts it when you are in normal mode.
Layout
Layout Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Scale | Overall scale multiplier for the grid |
| H Gap | Horizontal spacing between containers |
| V Gap | Vertical spacing between containers |
| Max Columns | Maximum number of columns in the grid |
| Offset X / Y | Offset from the top-left of the viewport |
| Wire Scale | Wire width scale factor during Quick View |
| Fade Geometry | Gray intensity of objects during Quick View |
Note
Even if all containers are hidden in normal mode, Quick View forces them to be shown. This lets you keep them hidden most of the time and only use Quick View while adjusting them.

| Auto Tweak Tool | Automatically switches to the Tweak tool and restores the previous tool when Quick View ends |
| Show Container Wire | Shows the outer wire frame of the containers |
