Bind/unbind an attribute

If you have a published name on a container that is not bound to an internal node attribute, you can bind it manually with the Asset Editor. Likewise, you can also unbind a published attribute, which leaves an unbound published name on the container.

To bind an attribute

1. Open the Asset Editor ( Window > General Editors > Asset Editor).
2. Select the container with the published name you want to bind in the left panel.
3. Click the Pin icon .

   The container’s bound and unbound published names appear in the right panel.

4. In the left panel, select the attribute you want to bind under its corresponding object.
5. In the right panel, expand the Unbound section.
6. Click the Bind icon next to the published name you want to bind the attribute to.

   The Bind icon changes to the Unbind icon and the internal attribute name appears next to the published name indicating that the published name now refers to a published attribute. Now you can modify this attributes value in the Attribute Editor or Channel Box.

To unbind an attribute

1. Open the Asset Editor ( Window > General Editors > Asset Editor).
2. Select the container with the published attribute you want to unbind in the left panel.
3. Click the Pin icon .

   The container’s bound and unbound published names appear in the right panel.

4. Click the Unbind icon next to the published attribute you want to unbind.

   The associated internal node attribute name disappears. The attribute disappears from the Attribute Editor and Channel Box since it now refers to only a published name.
