There is one I have found most useful that I learned in school, making multiple copies of the prefs in the Maya folder and when Maya starts acting up, delete the original “prefs” and rename one of the copies as “prefs”, works great

Another method is by selecting the root joint in the Outliner like you did and then holding right-click anywhere in the scene to bring up a menu and then selecting "Select Hierachy."

Great tips! 😎

Thanks! It could also be thought as 5 awesome things that your 3D program does but you just need time to learn how to utilize it:)

I knew all of these and that made me proud that I'm actually starting to know how it works. I teach as well, so I suppose it is a few years of problem solving 😊

Hi, I really have a problem with the grab tool brush. It moves my object instead of sculpting and yes, the option "grab silhouette" is off. I've tried resetting and everything but it doesn't work. Do you happen to know why?

Reset a custom workspace is different from reset a built-in workspace. When you make changes to custom workspace, it simply auto saves itself. So even if you reset your custom workspace, it won't go back to the original state.

One issue I often get in maya is with the arch trcker or any motion trail... I have keys and in the graph editor everything is clean, but then the curve in the motion trail is strange even if there is no key in some places, it is way too stange, but i have nothing is worse... so i ended up with a messed up motion trail, please, Does anyone have this problem? if so, is there asolution?
