The provides a spreadsheet of values contained in the components of an object.
You can access the by selecting the following:
- (In main menu bar) Window > General Editors > Component Editor
- (In scene view)
menus
-
-
Controls whether the editor automatically shows the components of the current selection, or you need to manually update the
editor to show the current selection.
When is off, click the button to update the editor with the current selection.
-
-
When this item is turned on, all columns whose values are zero are hidden (for example, a joint with no influence on vertices
in the tab). When this item is turned off, columns whose values are zero are shown.
-
-
When is turned off, the items that make up the columns are displayed in their order in the hierarchy. When is turned on, the items are sorted in alphabetical order.

-
-
Controls how many decimal places Maya shows for numbers in the cells.
-
-
Creates a custom layout in the . You are prompted to name this layout. A tab appears with the name and column layout you selected.
-
-
Deletes the current custom layout.
-
-
This is the same as the button at the bottom of the window. Updates the editor with the current selection when is off.
-
-
Removes all columns from the view, except those which are selected. This gives you a way to specify a set of influences/joints
and view only them.
-
-
Allows you to view only those components which are influenced by a selected object.
For example, create a object and select all of its CVs. The shows all the CVs. If you select one of the influences and select , you'll see only CVs for that influence; the others will be hidden.

-
Lists component data of polygonal vertices, including color or normal data in world space coordinates. If color or normal
data are not shared at the vertex level, the column displays the word UnShared. These unshared values can be viewed and edited
from the tab.
-
-
Lists vertex face component data, including color and normal values for the vertex face.
-
-
Lists component data of CVs, vertices, or lattice points influenced by cluster deformers (cluster weights).
-
-
Lists component data of CVs, vertices, or lattice points bound to a skeleton’s joints by rigid skinning (joint cluster weights).
-
-
Lists component data of CVs, vertices, or lattice points influenced by a target object.
-
-
Lists component data of CVs, vertices, or lattice points bound to a skeleton’s joints by smooth skinning (skin cluster weights).
-
-
Lists component data for springs, including stiffness and damping data.
-
-
Lists component data for particles, including color or velocity data.
spreadsheet area
- Each component is a row, and each value or influence on the component is a column.
- Click, shift-click, or drag across a cell, column, or row to select it.
- Type a value to enter it in all selected cells.
