Maya :: 2014 Move Is Selecting Other Objects Instead Of Moving?
Jul 8, 2013
We are just trying out Maya 2014 and seem to have found a little problem that we cannot seem to work around!
If we say have two object and we select one of them, if we then try to move that object along one axis, it moves a very small amount and then selects the other object, but neither move any more, if we unselect the second object and then try to move it again the same thing happens.
We are using a Wacom Tablet as the main pointing device and all three butttons are set right, and we have also tried a mouse and this does the same. We do have a 3Dconnexion Space Pilot Pro also connected but this has been disconnected to see if this caused the issue somehow but without it connected the issues is still aparent.
Works fine on 2013 no issues at all, but the problem just seems to effect the move tool in Maya 2014.
I have checked that soft selection is disabled and it is? maybe I have inadvertedly hit a shortcut sequence to switch something on or off, but cannot find anything else amiss.

So a friend created a model using zbrush and exported several different *.OBJ files. I imported those to maya and added shaders. They all fit correctly together when imported.
some of those obj files required me to do a mesh->combine. so now it appears that not every item has the same reference point so that when I move or scale the entire item, some of the objects move seperately. I think it is only the ones I had to combine.
I tried freeze transformations, but when doing that, some of the objects lost their scale settings and still didnt move together as one unit.

I have a problem with selecting multiple objects!!! Everywhere it says that you have to hold shift and select the objects you wish but when I do this it selects all the objects in between! How can I change this?

Its impossible for me to select those with the mouse. I think I tried everything, but still doesnt work. I have all my selection masks - ON, I have tried all the variations of the selecting tools settings. Reseted the settings, deleted the preffs folder, uninstalled Maya, reinstalled again. Problem persist on 2011 and 2012 versions.
I can select every other object (surface, curves, planes) except those poly things. The only way to select is right button - select all and then remove the unwanted from the mass selection. How to activate selection with mouse!

I'm having this issue where when I select an object in the outline and want to move it say, to another group or reorder the objects, it changes my mouse to circle with a line through it and won't me do anything.

So, when in object mode, I can manually input numbers to translate, rotate, and scale an object - either in the channel box, or in the attribute editor.
But what about subobjects (components) like verts, faces, and edges?
Sure I can move em around with the manipulator, but where can I manually enter in precise numbers?

I´d like to know how to move/displace multiple objects (in this case bricks) like it is done in this animation (at approx. 0:15 sec) [URL].I tried to reconstruct the effect using bigger bricks and tangent constraints, which worked kinda ok but I had to constrain every single brick manually which was rather time consuming and definitely not the approach they must have had used. Is there a way to achieve similar effect (pref. without scripting)?

Something changed in my settings & I don't know how to chance it back. I can't click on to select objects inside or behind objects. What do I have to change to be able to select any item I click on regardless of where it is?

I am having a hard time trying to add a logo to a picture. I open the picture, then I open the logo as a layer and it pops into the center of the photo. Problem is, I don't want it positioned in the center, so how do I select it and move it around to where I want it? Even when the layer is highlighted I can't figure out which tool will let you grab it.

I am trying to move my sig layers which are just a jpg into the correct position, I also have a gif image which is not visible as it is hidden behind the layers. When I move some layers it does not move it on all the other frames (the frames are there cos of the gif file so they each are seperate).
Does anyone know how I what options or what tool do i select to move the layers in all the keyframes to the position i want?
I'll try and get a screen capture if u dont understand

I took the time to search and was unable to find anything that seemed relevant. I have also had trouble figuring out the documentation.
Is there a way to select a specific grip within a dynamic block and then update its position?

Any way of selecting an individual bezier handle and moving it by increments using the arrow buttons on the keyboard, (in a similar way to moving an individual point)? At the moment, I have two handles on different adjacent points selected, and am able to move them incrementally using the direct selection tool and the arrow keys, but I don't know how they originally came to be selected (I discovered that they were accidentally), or how to transfer the selection to another handle. I'm using CS6.

Is there a move tool that doesn't select? Pressing the space bar to lock the selected only works half the time and I inadvertantly select and move the wrong object/subobject.

I am about to start work on a project that will require me to import between 200-300 CAD models created with Solidworks I believe and provided to me in the following formats:
.STEP
.STL
.IGS
.SLDPRT
with most of the files being in .STEP and .SLDPRT format.
What is the best way to import these into maya 2014 OSX?

I have installed Maya 2014 SP4 at home, this is a fresh install and was just trying to see if there are any problems with the new SP before I install it at work.
But for some reason, the install went OK, but when I looked under the Render settings there is no MentalRay, and then looking in the Plugins list, there are none there either?

when I select an edge for example the edges close to it are selected as well and turn yellow and the farther ones turn red and move when I move the edge I selected. I'm pretty sure this a simple problem, like a button I need to toggle, but I seriously can't find it. How do I select individual edges?
EDIT
I found out that this was cancelled by just pressing B.

I can't seem to be able to select multiple points with the marquee. I'm on a mac... Usually you can select a grouped object, switch to point component and grab a whole chunk of points, then move them etc. I can't do this anymore!

lets say I marquee select the vertices on a cube in an orthographic view (top view or side view) only the vertices facing the camera get selected. And to clarify, CAMERA BASED SELECTION IS TURNED OFF. Also, not sure if it is related, but backface culling in preferences is also turned off. This usually will not happen in perspective view; but yesterday it did start happening in perspective view as well. And even more strange, it does not affect all meshes in the scene. Only some will react this way.
This bug only recently started happening and it is driving me nuts. I have been running 2013 on this machine since it was released, but not until recently did this bug start to occur; so I am wondering if I accidentally turned something on/off?

I've got a good grasp on 3D modeling and I've taken numerous tutorials to get started.I revolved a container profile from an Illustrator path and I've assigned a mia_material. It's basically a cylinder that I need to map a label onto and my problem is two fold...
1. I am unable to select faces (face mode). In my RMB popup menu, I see "Surface Point", not "Faces".
2. So then I just add the label file to the whole thing, choose Create UVs -> Cylindrical mapping and I am unable to edit, re-position and scale the image to the cylindrical faces.

Whenever I switch renders layers I get the following error
/ Error: ...cameraMaskChange(unifiedRenderGlobalsWindow|rgMainForm|tabForm|mentalRayTabLayout|mentalRayCommonTab|scrollLayout|commonTabColum //
// Error: Invalid use of Maya object "unifiedRenderGlobalsWindow|rgMainForm|tabForm|mentalRayTabLayout|mentalRayCommonTab|scrollLayout|commonTabColumn|rgRenderableCamerasFrame|renderableCamerasSW|mayaSoftwareCameraLayout|columnLayout27|columnLayout28|columnLayout29|checkBoxGrp71". //
[code]....
Error: Invalid use of Maya object "persp"..it will happen for every camera in the scene until I close and re-open the scene! I do not know what causes it but it seems like whenever I delete a render layer it starts happening and it is driving me positively bonkers!

The scene i am working on is relatively light , and i am still running into this , everytime i go to select a mesh nothing happens for what seems to be ages (4-6 seconds) and then the mesh becomes selected. then if i go to select another mesh , the same. This is really slowing down my artist flow and making the work become a chore.

I'm using the Morpheus rig (fantastic rig, by the way) in Maya 2014 and would like to select all of the control curve shapes so that I can place them in a display layer (an easy way to turn all the NURBS curves on the rig invisible without turning my parented props invisible, too!).
In order to do this, I cannot simply shift-click all of the control curves. I need to select all of these curves' shape nodes (which are appended with "_animShape"). I attempted to select them all by entering "*_animShape*" (without quotes, of course) into the Input Box, but I receive the "No object matches name" error. I also tried "select -r *_animShape*" in the Command Line, to no avail.
I do not want to have to spend 30 minutes to an hour scouring the Outliner for every single shape node (mind you, it's a very complex and sophisticated character rig!). Am I using wildcards incorrectly? how I can select all of these nodes at once?

I'm having a huge problem trying to select the vertices both in the front and the back of my object. I am familiar with backface culling, and the option is not working. I have tried toggling backface culling in the viewport, preferences, mesh component display and polygon display options. None of these options work. I want to be able to select all the vertices on a model, regardless of certain objects/faces being in the way. However, if there is a face in front of the vertice I am trying to select, Maya won't let me select it.

So since I have had 2014 installed grease pencil only worked once and I have not changed anything. It just worked all of a sudden one start up, but prior to that and since it has not worked at all. Everything opens (the menu) and when I add a frame and select a brush that all works, but when using the mouse or Wacom tab it will not paint anything. I even upgraded to the latest drivers for the Wacom, but like I said the mouse wont work either.

there's an invisible 10px border around each object/shape. it's so frustrating when i'm working on small icons or whatnot.i'll try and give an example the best i can... say i have two squares overlapping and are offset from each other by a 5px or so. if i want to select the back square, i'd normally... click on the part of the square i can see. in cs6, if i just click on the visible part of said square, it would select the front square. i have to click at least 10px out from the back square to select it.
