There is a check box in the prefs to not highlight children.
Unfortunately there is no way to branch select in Maya. You should
check out the learning channel for the Softimage > Maya transition
vids. They had a decent one about the differences in selection between
the two apps. I found it pretty helpful and it had one or two little
things I didn't realize were in there. Nothing ground breaking but
helpful.

Okay, another one of these little things that confuse me! Does anyone
know if there's a way to get Maya to use a Softimage-style selection
highlighting? I can only find a way to make it do that weird thing
where half of the screen turns pink/bright green or turn it off so I
have no selection feedback whatsoever (which is preferable, but not
ideal).
Just want to make sure I'm not missing a small check-box somewhere.

Yes, I agree it's confusing and should be revisited. Glad you
like the default scene thing, though!
Humanize Maya is an ongoing initiative that will not be completed
in a single release, but you can expect to reap the first round of
benefits from it in the next major release, assuming all goes as
planned.

Subject: RE: more maya......
Hi Jill,
Sofimage has one preference page to set fps, the only time I've
ever had a problem is when a scene with an incorrect frame rate
gets merged in. No need for two completely disconnected preference
locations to do it. This is an example of why maya needs rethinking.
Clearly what Ben described is the answer to the specific issue
(thanks Ben) but would you agree that this messy and disconnected
approach to UI is something that really should have been addressed
in the market leader?
When will the meat of the humanize maya project be available to see?
cheers,
Andi
P.s I quite like the default scene setting in Maya..... I made a
button in soft to do the same thing so Maya is one click ahead as
far as that's concerned ;-)
