View Full Version : MacroScript Recording limitation?

Hello,
I have a question regarding the recording of a macroscript:

Here is what I want to do :

1. Select all the objects in the scene
2. Go to the tab in the GUI that has the button to allow you to turn on "Dont Affect Children Mode"
3. Hit "RESET" button on same tabbed menu as above...then hit the SCALE button and TRANSFORM button right below the "RESET" button
4. Then finally move on the the Tool Tab and hit RESET XFORM (about 10x)...then in the same tool tab hit collapse modifier result button and then hit collapse.

Basically, many of these motions I am going through do not show up as recorded in the Listener. Is this a limitation of the macroscript recorder? It would be so easy to make a macroscript to do this simple process if those buttons (such as dont affect children etc.) would show up in the Listener.
Any ideas or explainations would be of great help. Thanks to you all.

EDIT: sorry for any confusion the buttons I am speaking about reside in the [HIERARCHY] tab and the [UTILITIES] tab respectively

Thanks for the reply!

It sure does look like a script that will do what I am looking for (it seems I do it by "hand" then). Good stuff btw.
However, since it appears I can't record the buttons in these tabs to show up in the listener (for macro generation) how else can I access these procedures?

Thanks for your time!

Oh, btw...how do you install this plugin?...I tried following the instructions on your site...but I am not sure what to expect when I drag the mzp.run file into the viewport (nothing happens)...again...thanks!
