This will help you create a GEAR PSet. This is a custom property in which you can store it’s own layout and logic. This way you can dynamically generate custom properties with a custom layout and have them persisting even after reloading the scene. It is basically an evolution of the Custom Property With Persistent Layout by Daniele Niero as describe in this xsi blog post. (Thanks to him !), but the GEAR version is written in Python and can also store the logic of the PPG.
これは GEAR PSetを作成するのに役立ちます。これは、あなたがそれ自身のレイアウトとロジックを格納できるカスタムプロパティです。この方法は、あなたが動的にカスタムレイアウトを使用してカスタムプロパティを生成することができますし、それらは、シーンをリロードした後であっても持続しています。それは基本的にこのXSIのブログ記事で説明するように Daniele Niero による Persistent Layout によるカスタム·プロパティーの進化です。（彼に感謝！）が、Gear版はPythonで書かれており、また、PPGのロジックを格納することができます。

These are all the rigging icons available. Even if curves are slower to display than nulls and a lot of people recommend to use null as controlers inside Softimage. We decided to go with curves as we can shape them exactly the way we want. We feel it is important for animators to have clear and easy to grab controlers. Note that inside the gear rigging system you can replace any curve controler with a null icon.
これらは、利用可能なすべてのリギングアイコンです。カーブがヌルより表示することが遅く、たとえ多くの人は、Softimage内部controlersとしてnullを使用することをお勧めします。我々は、まさに我々が望むように、それらを形作ることができるように我々は曲線で行くことにした。我々はアニメーターがcontrolersをつかむことが明確かつ簡単に持つことが重要であると感じています。ギアのリギングシステムの中にあなたがnullアイコンで任意の曲線コントローラの元を交換することができないことに注意してください。

TRANSFORM （変換）
Work exactly like the Softimage native Match transform, but the native one sometimes doesn’t work.
Also this one can match Translate and Rotation only or Scaling and Rotation...
Softimage標準の変換の一致と全く同じ機能ですが、標準機能では上手く働かないことがあるので…。
