how to mask no selected bones ?

Post by Fabionic38 »

Hi
When I select a bone in Moho, I would like to mask quickly all the other bones (no selected), but I don't find how to make that in the interface? There is only "Mask selected bones".. but I need the inverse ;). Someone could help me?

If you mean to Hide un-selected bones, then I don't think that is available - but could be done in script.

One alternative is to select all bones, deselect the one/s you want to keep visible and then Hide Selected Bones.

By 'mask', do you mean hide the bones? If so, you should use Hide Selected Bones or Shy Bones. To invert a selection, use Select Inverse or Ctrl-I.

So, to hide 'unselected' bones:

1. Select a bone
2. Press Ctrl-I
3. Select Hide Selected Bones or enable the Shy option.

When setting up character rigs, I like to use Shy instead of Hide because it's easy to toggle the visibility of 'shy-ed' bones if you set a hotkey for it. (I use the Shy button on my MQC panel for this.) I do this for bones that I don't want to touch during animation, but that I may occasionally need to reveal when editing the rig.

Thanks Guys!
Yes, it's to hide bones ;)
I think I will use what you say : bones selection + Ctrl-I + shortcut to hide selected bones.
I'll try "shy bones" too, but that needs I activate "shy bones" before, and determinate at the beginning which bone is "shy" or not.
