The Attribute Editor displays attributes you can edit and key (animate). You can key attributes by -clicking them in the Attribute Editor, and then selecting Set Key from the pop-up menu. This menu is not available for attributes you cannot key. See Add keys.

Certain attributes are assigned a keyable status by default in Maya. For example, all objects are assigned the following keyable attributes:

• Rotate X, Y, and Z
• Scale X, Y, and Z
• Translate X, Y, and Z
• Visibility
