A tick marker is an unlinked control that can be customized to show user-specified values. It can be used with faders and meters to specify particular measurements with unique positions, orientations, colors, etc.
Controls can be managed in the Custom Panel designer and, once the Custom Panel is activated, utilized by the end user. This control must be linked to a parameter to function properly.
