I downloaded the roboter rig from Highend 3D and have been using for an animation for a class.

In the attribute editor the visibility option has been removed. Yet I want to make the character invisible. really I want to swap the rig out for a different one. so is there a way to show that attribute again in the editor? I want to be able to key it so it would be a "seamless" switch.

any ideas?

(In Maya)
-select the control/object/mesh
-Window > General Editors > Channel Control
-Scroll down to Visibility in the NonkeyableHidden Column
-select visibility
-click the <<Move button

*you may need to unlock as well, switch over to the Locked tab and repeat.

Hope this helps.
