setAttr -keyable

[svenip]

worx fine for me. maybe it`s because you forgot to say which rotate

setAttr -keyable false sphere.rotateX; as example

[dwalden74]

No, that´s not what I mean. I´ll explain better:

With

setAttr -lock true sphere.rotate (or simply "sphere.r")

you lock all rotations on object "sphere" in one go. It´s like doing

setAttr -lock true sphere.rx
setAttr -lock true sphere.ry
setAttr -lock true sphere.rz


However with the -keyable flag, this is not the case. The command executes, the attributes are not made unkeyable. I´m just wondering why?

-keyable can appear in create mode ONLY

[dwalden74]

uhh....what? I don´t follow you.

[Sanctuary]

try this ...


file -f -new;
spaceLocator -p 0 0 0; move -r 0 6 0 ;

addAttr -ln "pose" -dt "string" -keyable true locator1;
scriptEditorInfo -ch;
string $xxx = `getAttr -keyable locator1.pose`;
print ("attr is : " + $xxx + "\n");

setAttr -keyable false locator1.pose;

string $xxx = `getAttr -keyable locator1.pose`;
print ("attr is : " + $xxx + "\n");

[dwalden74]

yup, tried it... What does that have to do with my question though???

Try this:

sphere -n sphere;
setAttr -lock true sphere.t;
setAttr -keyable false sphere.r;


Why doesn´the last line hide all rotations?

:hmm:

[Sanctuary]

-keyable false doen`t mean will remove all rotations from Channel Box :D ...

keyable simply let an attribute bo be keyed or not

[dwalden74]

keyable simply let an attribute bo be keyed or not

Yes, this is obvious, but why doesn´t it work then?

"setAttr -keyable false sphere.r" should make all rotations non-keyable. Why should this not work?

:insane:

Another thing, you said earlier that the -keyable flag was for create mode, and not for edit mode. This is not true. When I do:

setAttr -keyable false sphere.tx

I´m editing an existing attribute. Don´t you think?

well, that`s what AW documetation say ... not my fault, you can check for yourself

i don`t know.
maybe it`s a bug (don`t think so) ... but if you edit all 3 attr one by one it works, after you can see is not working for traslations as well ... so, maybe isn`t suppose to edit all 3 at once
