In today's meeting we used this meeting to discuss the icons requested from the animation editor for:

• Collider Rotation
• Parent Joint Rotation
• Child Joint Rotation
• Automatic Joint limit fitting

After David gave us a quick demo, we discussed alternative ways on how we can less complicate the UX for representing the buttons.

So in conclusion, here was the verdict:

• Collider Rotation - stays the same
• Parent Joint - he’s going to use the Component Card icon
• Child Joint - needs an icon
• Auto Fit - needs an icon (this is simply automatically adjusting the joint to a certain position)

This is a temporarily fix, until UX can investigate if we can apply the context "horizontal" tool bar (that is visually used in component mode switcher) in the Emotion FX animation editor, as a UX pattern. (Even though it doesn't use components, we can share the same consistent paradigm?) UX to investigate.
