2 shapes in 1 transform node

[zachgrachan]

select the two(or more parts) and hit ctrl - g or go Edit>group.

If you'd like to be able to select one part and have all the others selected automatically: select all automatic parts, then the one you want at the top of the hierarchy and hit p or go Edit>parent.

windows>outliner or hypergraph will show how this works.

thanks for the reply,
ive tried that, but if you select the child curve, the parent curve is not selected.

You can solve this with a MEL script.

I assume you already have a transformnode with a shapenode and another transformnode with another shape node.

Select the shapenode that you want to add to your other transformnode, then shift select the transformnode you want it to end up in.

Then run this script:

parent -s -r;

I use this for all kinds of stuff.



Best regards,

it works as i was dreaming of

[zachgrachan]

you could also use select by hierarchy, instead of by objects

Härligt ;)

You can use this for any shapenode. For example you can use a shapenode instead of those annoying selection handles on joints or clusters and whatever...

To do this, you must select the shape node of one curve, then shift select the curve that you want to be the parent transform node. Now in the command line type parent -r -s

later:wavey:
