Maya Timeline ticks

2014-08-26 Thread Sofronis Efstathiou
Such a dumb arse questions - but I'm sure it's some preference somewhere I 
can't spot.

Is there a way to filter the red ticks in the timeline to only appear depending 
on what Transform you have active - so just the scale, transform or rotation 
once activated via the keyboard - i.e. just showing what is being Marked as a 
Parameters for keying. I don't want to ask it to follow the channel Box (such a 
crappy way to work) and Setting Timeline preferences to 'Smart' is ok, but it 
will show all animation keys on that object from what I can tell - or require I 
filter it by the Channel box again.

Cheers

It has some filters if you right click on the timeline I believe.

It does...but there are just to filter all channels, those you mark in the 
channel box or none. You can look in the preferences of the time line and turn 
on a further option 'Smart'...but this won't further filter rot, trans and 
scale unless you mark it in the channel box again.

I would have thought by simply activating a transform in the viewport, there 
would be an option to sync the ticks to just show that transform methos. Like 
in Soft.
