Support "Publish Points" for Fusion Shape tools

PostThu Jun 19, 2025 12:25 pm

The old Polygon and BSpline tools can publish their points, enabling the user to drive animation of these points from another tool. However, newer tools like sPolygon, sBSpline and MultiPoly don't support this feature.

The "Publish Menu" is missing from the viewer toolbar of these tools but it's still there in the context menu. If you use the context menu the feature isn't working so I guess it's actually not supposed to be there right now.

Steps to reproduce the issue with the context menu:
  1. Create points using an sPolygon, sBSpline or MultiPoly
  2. Select the points and right click in the viewer, select sPolygon1:Polyline > Publishing Path Points Enabled
  3. Right click in the viewer again and select sPolygon1:Polyline > Publish > Publish Points
  4. The points are now in the Inspector, changing the values in the Inspector should change the points of the polygon but it doesn't

My use case for publishing points from sPolygon/sBSpline is to drive them from Inverse/Forward Kinematics math. Like Limber/Duik/Rubberhose for After Effects.
