I renamed a control in an existing Control Rig and the track disappeared, can’t seem to get it back unless I either rename it again or revert the Control Rig to a previous version. Using 5.3.2 for both Control Rig creation and animation.
Upon further inspection, my problem seems to be related to the fact that I was renaming a control to match a name previously held by another control; I’ll illustrate with an example:
I had two FK controls nested in each other. spine_01_ctrl and spine_02_ctrl. However, the names were incorrect as the 01 control should be numbered 02 and the 02 control should be numbered 03. I can rename spine_02_ctrl into spine_03_ctrl no problem and the sequencer track is still there.
However, when I then try to rename spine_01_ctrl into spine_02_ctrl, then the sequencer track disappears because (I guess) some internal mechanism is detecting that spine_02_ctrl used to be the name of a different control and something goes haywire.
Renaming it to something else brings it back.
