 | | | Locking Marked? | Locking Marked? 2004-07-05 - By Rafe Sacks
Back
Played around with it a little.
Locks don't seem to follow the methodology of XSI, which is a real shame
since this introduces a small learning curve. In the explorer (not in
the kinematics property page - another serious drawback) you can lock
items based on your right click choice. If you want to lock all
kinematics, right click on that, if you want to lock only ori, you have
to navigate to that node and right click on that. Worse, if you want to
lock marked params you have to navigate all the way down to anyone of
them to right click on it. If you right click on any marked param and
lick it all will lock. ... messy
Anyone at soft care to comment? If lock functionality were put in the
animation menu as marking sets were, it would make a lot more sense. I
wouldn't remove the functionality that is there now. Though I don't see
a way to work on multiple objects, yet another shame.
*Workflow problem summery:*
* Locks don't seem to utilizing an obvious or useful workflow in
regards to marked parameters
* No way to work on multiple objects outside of the marked parameter
workflow
* No way to lock more then one channel at a time in the kinematics
property page
Please correct me if I am wrong, These items would speed up working with
locks significantly. Perhaps I am just missing some key trick. Anyone at
Soft care to comment?

Works fine here.
I just wish it would also be possible to password protect my locks, would
make the animators a lot less dangerous :)
Still beats constant expressions tho.

I hope I just missed this somewhere... is there a way to set locks on
all marked parameters?
