To add nodes to an asset
- Select
the node(s) you want to add.
- Do one of the following:
-
- Select
Assets > Add to Asset.
If you have two assets selected, the first one you selected is added
to the second.
NoteMaya returns an error
if more than two assets are selected.
- In the Outliner, -drag
the node(s) onto an existing asset node.
NoteWhen adding nodes
to an asset using the
Outliner,
Maya respects the current
Add to Asset options.
For more information, see
Assets > Add to Asset.
- In the Hypergraph Connections editor,
hold + + and
drag the node(s) into the asset node.
- In the Hypergraph Connections editor, -click
the asset border and select Add selected to asset.
The node is added to
the asset. If the node was already inside another asset, it is removed
from that asset.
The above methods are
useful if you want to manually specify the nodes to add to the asset.
However, you can also quickly add a group of nodes that are related
by their hierarchy or connections.
To add a group of related nodes to an
asset
- In either the Outliner or Hypergraph
Connections editor, select the node(s) whose related
hierarchy you want to add to an asset.
- +
select the asset you want to add the node(s) to.
- Select
Assets > Add to Asset > .
- Select whether you want any connected
nodes and the hierarchy related to the node included in the asset.
- Click Apply and Close.
