This button lets you quickly access read data from your scene by filling the Attribute Name field with one of the following common sources:

- MoGraph
  - Size
  - UVW
- Particles
  - Spin Axis (TP)
  - Alignment X (TP)
  - Alignment Y (TP)
  - Alignment Z (TP)
  - Scale (TP)
  - Velocity (TP/XP)
  - Rotation (XP)
  - Spin (XP)
