You can hide
all unpublished information in an asset with the Black
Box option. When an asset is in Black
Box mode:
- Only published selection transforms,
parent anchors, child anchors and other assets appear when the asset
is expanded in any editor.
- Unpublished nodes encapsulated by the
asset are not shown in the DAG hierarchy.
- Unpublished nodes are removed from the Channel
Box and Attribute Editor.
- Unpublished nodes become un-selectable
in the scene. Trying to select an unpublished node from the asset
instead selects whatever asset centric selection would select.
- Pick-walking only selects published nodes.
- Black Box assets
cannot be expanded in the Hypergraph.
- Using the Select Asset Contents option
only selects published nodes.
To set an asset as a Black Box
- Select an asset in your scene.
- Open the Attribute Editor.
- In the Asset Attributes section,
turn on Black Box.
NoteWhen working in Black
Box mode, you should set the Outliner’s Asset Contents (Display
> Advanced Asset Contents) display to Under
Parent.
