The document discusses creating walk paths and using the Walk Designer tool. It explains that to create a walk path, you select a figure and use the Create Walk Path command, which generates a default path extending from the figure. Once a walk path is made, the Walk Designer dialog allows setting walk cycle parameters and previewing the animation. It can change the preview view and load different character files.

- 4. CREATING A WALK PATH Before you can use the Walk Designer, you need to create a Walk Path, which tells the current figure where to walk. To create a Walk Path, select the Figure, Create Walk Path menu command and the default walk path appears in the scene extending from the default figure, as shown in Figure. You can select this path from the Props submenu in the Actor List and is called Path_1.
- 5. USING THE WALK DESIGNER Once you create a walk path, you can use the Walk Designer, shown in Figure, to set the parameters for the walk cycle. You open the Walk Designer dialog box by using the Window, Walk Designer menu command. To the left of the Walk Designer dialog box is a preview pane that will show a preview of the current walk settings when you click the Walk button. The 3/4, Side, Front and Top options change the view in the preview pane and the Figure Type button lets you open a different character file.
