Edit Pivots. When checked, the pivot points of meshes and GeoH objects can be moved in the 3-D and perspective windows. Hit-testing against the meshes is disabled when active, only the pivot points or handles can be selected. A mesh's pivot point is snapped to the center, sides and corners of its bounding box, or to any vertex if it is sufficiently close to the vertex in all three dimensions (ie not just a single 3-D viewport). You can adjust the snap distance in the Mesh area of the preferences. Equivalent to menu items on the 3-D viewport and perspective view's right-click menu, and the GeoH perspective toolbar.

Lock Children. Turn this on if you want to move a pivot without moving the pivots of its children. Normally, when you move the parent, the children are carried along automatically as a consequence of their hierarchy. If the child pivots are correct, and only the parent needs adjustment, turning this on lets you do that, by creating opposite motions for the child pivots, so they stay put. This setting is shared system wide; you can see it on the main Edit menu and the perspective and 3D views' right-click menu.

Adjust Rig. Normally, if you drag a GeoH object's handles in the perspective or 3D views, only the unlocked joints move and receive keys. That prevents you from messing up your carefully-constructed hierarchy. Turning on Adjust Rig lets you move the rig in the perspective view, setting keys on all joints lock values. This is quite dangerous. This setting is shared system wide; you can see it on the main Edit menu and the perspective and 3D views' right-click menu.

Update Textures Now. All mesh textures will be re-extracted from the shot.

Redo Textures at Solve. Enable control, when on, texture calculations will re-run whenever the scene is solved.
