So I only want to plot certain properties (T, R, or S) on various joints.  For example, a head joint might get only R while the shoulder joint could get T and R.  It looks like FBTake.PlotTakeOnSelectedProperties in MB2010 will do the trick.  If I select the shoulder joint and click on Translate and Rotate in the FCurves Editor (highlighting all 6 channels) then click Plot Selected Properties in the Key Controls window I get exactly what I want.  Yes, I realize I could select TR, but this was just a test.

So, it looks like PlotTakeOnSelectedProperties will do the trick, but I’m not sure how to select the T or R or S properties in the FCurves window?  Or am I going about it incorrectly?

TIA -

steve

Bump,

I’d like to plot only X & Z channels on my Reference node using FBTake.PlotTakeOnSelectedProperties(). Anybody know how to select just a few properties via pyfbsdk?

Thanks,

I don’t have MoBu here so I can’t test this, but here is what’s in my snippets:

from pyfbsdk import *

FBFindModelByName('LeftArm')

# SetFocus is inherited from FBPropertyAnimatable
a.Rotation.SetFocus(True)
