Hi,,

 

Does anyone know of a pref or env variable that would allow a child to maintain it’s “unkeyed” visibility status irregardless of how it’s parent visibility is manipulated.  

I’m speaking interactively, nothing to do with keys.  Ex..  4 cubes are parented to a nul, 2 visible and 2 hidden. If you Branch select the nul, hide it then unhide it, all four cubes are now visible..  In many other apps, this same example results in the hidden children remaining hidden unless specifically selected and unhidden.

I don’t remember this being an issue last time I was here but I do spend a lot of time in Maya..  Can this be altered?
