Whenever i select several objects at same time, then i click attributes to change all of their limits, drawing overrides, arnold properties…etc, Maya only allows me to change one of the selected objects…
what if i must change 300 objects attributes and i cant make that change by selecting all them and making my changes at same time…it will be a long day to modify each attribute manually.
How to do this?
you’ll have to modify this script to change the “myAttribute” and value from “0”, but try running a mel script like this:
string $sSel[] = ls -sl;
int $Value;
string $sObj;
$Value = 0;
for($sObj in $sSel)
{
editRenderLayerAdjustment “$sObj.myAttribute”;
setAttr ($sObj + “.myAttribute”) $Value;
};
Actually you can edit multiple object atributes at the same time from the channel box (it doesnt apply to all atributes, like the text on the Type tool)
In addition to the methods mentioned, you can use the Attribute Spread Sheet. Windows > General Editors > Attribute Spread Sheet. There you can select all the boxes for a given attribute on multiple objects all at once and enter a value.
It’s good to learn scripting too though.
Oh yeah, you can now do render layer overrides in the attribute spreadsheet via its layer menu - didn’t know that. Without the right-click menu working, I didn’t think it let you
