Assigning a custom icon

Currently, Fire_truck_AST is displayed in the Outliner and Hypergraph with the standard asset icon. You can customize this icon to make the asset more obvious when you place the fire truck in a scene with more than one asset.

To customize the asset icon

1. Select Fire_truck_AST in the Outliner.
2. In the Attribute Editor, under the Fire_truck_AST tab, open the Asset Attributes section.

   This section displays all of the asset’s own attributes.

3. Click the file icon button next to Icon Name.

   A file browser appears.

4. Navigate to GettingStartedMaya2013LessonData\Assets\sourceimages\xpm and select fire_truck_icon.xpm.
5. Click Open.

The image changes to a small fire truck icon.
