am I missing something? It has been a while since using light linking. ( a while since I worked in Maya primarily) But is there a way to just exclude one object from the lights illumination. Instead of selecting everything I want to it to illuminate and linking it to a light set? In XSI you just

Yea ty. I am using 2 custom commands now (using a toggle isn't the best way in that case) string $selection[] = `ls -selection -long`; string $object; for ( $object in $selection ) { catch(eval(setAttr ($object + .displayRotatePivot, 1))); } 2015-02-04 13:20 GMT+01:00 Tim Leydecker

You can argue either way whether Maya is an app where you can be productive and agile or not, it certainly isn't intuitive though. You have to dredge some of the stuff up from depths unfathomable some times. You can always ask, at worst people won't answer. If you fear the questions might be too

I am actually searching for the display local axis. This is an object attribute. But I want to turn it on in general in my viewport. Because you can only snap 1 object to another if those local axis are displayed in the viewport. 2015-02-04 12:24 GMT+01:00 Raffaele Fragapane

Display / Transform Display only works to toggle pivot display for selected objects. I don't know of any global option for this. I just select everything before doing it when I need it. To select everything just right click on display and with your right click pressed, slide down. Martin On

You can use the V shortcut but the object you want to snap to will have to have it´s selection handle, rotation pivot or whatever else you want to snap to enabled in it display properties. e.g., modify your display options globally to display these kinds of stuff for all objects, the

Ctrl-Shift-A will let you select everything in a scene. Setting the Scripteditor to Echo All Commands then for example reveals: ToggleRotationPivots; From there, it´s just a drag of this line to the shelve. That at least let´s you switch things after creation. If you want to get this

The principle of this script, changing an attribute for the current selection, e.g. multiple objects should be part of the Mel help. That´s one of the things anyone would want to start with in MayaMel, especially with blip programming experience. The whole point of scripting is automation and

But that DisplayTransform Display is on per object context right ? I am searching for a way to globally show the axis. For all objects in the scene (also newly created ones). But because showing/hiding those axis is controlled by local object attributes I guess that's not possible. 2015-02-04

It is, but the problem with dexterity based workflows is that you're unlikely to bump into the literal category for it, wherever the stuff ends up being stashed in. QWERTY interaction mode, X and V for quick snap (grid/discrete and snap to point) and so on are hard to bump into unless you watch
