MEL commands for...

Refelix · Mar 2015

Hey Guys,

Quick question. I have a rig I need to sort out for a friend in Maya. It needs an FK system put into play so he can bake out for Unity. So as a quick fix I have duplicated the joints, put them in there own group and I am now looking to constrain the "bake out" skeleton to the rig... However all the joints are the same size making selection a real pain in the ass. Is there a MEL command to adjust the radius of all joints selected?

Ideally a script to parent constrain all selected joints to any other joint sharing it's world space but that I think is a little far fetched! :poly142:

Thanks

Just select all bones in the outliner (ctrl+shift click on the + beside the root joint, it will expand the whole hierarchy, you can then click-drag over all the joints to select them).
Now you can easily adjust the radius in the channel box. I the CB you can most easily change attributes of multiple selected objects.

I had tried that but it did not seem to be working, it only appeared to re size some, not all. I will give this another try.

The Mel command

select -hi root;

should select all the joints of your skeleton, just replace "root" with the actual name of your skels root joint.
