      I am trying to have a fully articulated TV monitor arm be able to be rotated from the Components Option Box. I can move each joint from the component that defines it but would like to do it as stated previously. How do I get the attributes moved up so they will show up when the component is selected?

        Create attributes for each rotation and pass them down. You need to reconsider the axis of rotation for the vertical arm
        As is with some attributes connected, note the interference of parts as it rotates, the axis should be at the top with the lower arm allowed to move (separate component)

          Thanks for the help. 😄 I will look through what you have done so I can see how to do it. I have to set up a rotation on the equipment knuckle. Getting Axis properly aligned has always been a fun problem for this component. Now I have an easy unit to modify in my models.
