As far as I know, it takes keyable and animated channels. You could use Channel
Control window to set what is keyable, or just displayed in Channel Box.Or, you
could make a certain channel keyable, locked, nonkeyable or else, directly in
Chanell Box. Tip: Maya Channel Box works with multiple selected nodes, or
multiple selected channels of one node, or both.Btw, Maya ''select hierarchy''
menu command selects shape nodes, too, perhaps you'll want to avoid that,
simple MEL that removes shapes from hierarchy selection is something like this:
select -hi;string $mysell[]=`ls -sl -type transform`;select -r $mysell;

everyone, I hope you are well. I had a quick question about Maya’s Time
Editor, I was hoping someone maybe can help, or push me in the right direction.
When storing animation in Softimage’s Animation Mixer we had the option of
isolation which channel we wanted to store. However, in Maya’s Time Editor I
can’t seem to save a particular channel marked in the Channel box as a clip, it
will instead remove all of the animated parameters that belong to the object.
i.e. if the position of a sphere was animated, how do I just pull the y channel
and leave the other two channels x and z on the object? The same for rotations
vs position vs scale, or even the size or colour of an object etc. The same for
constraints – how do I separate a point cns properties vs a rotation cns? I
want to be specific about which channels are stored. Does anyone know? I
can’t seem to find any reference to it in the help files or online. It just
rips off everything – even the options in theTime Editor> File>Add Animation
from Scene Selection don’t facilitate this. I’m sure I’m missing something –
maybe its connected to Character Sets? Or channels that are marked? Thanks
again. Sofronis (Saf) Efstathiou Principal Lecturer and BFX Competition &
