I have been digging around the python reference but havent seen a way to do this yet, i am hoping to automate the whole rigging process so that we can be sure we have the same rigs for all of our characters.  My next hurdle is creating custom views for each of the controllers and place created attributes inside folders to make the property window less cluttered.

Is there a way to do this yet?

I think I was already writting about this. You need to look at ‘propertyview.fbx’ which can be found in ‘MotionBuilder 2009\bin\config’. No easy way to change it, and probably you have to restart MB after changing it.

Hope this helps.

Sorry I wasn’t clear first time, will try again.

This file is storing all Property Views.
There is nothing in python that will allow you to create custom view (as far as I know). Only solution is to understand how Views are stored in that file and try to edit ut with python - and that is why I wrote it’s not easy.

Cheers
