sb4 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Not sure if this is possible or makes sense, but I'm working on a beveled cube example from "A:M A Complete Guide", and I made a beveled cube with straight splines by setting peaking. Now I want to slightly round the bevel, so I want to selectively set some gammas on the bevel splines. But first, I want to set all the alphas to zero and all the magnitudes to 100% just for uniformity. If I "select all" with ctrl-A and then set the bias properties for all, some of the biases on the model do not change, and are still odd-ball values. Is this supposed to work, setting all at once? -SB Quote

When you use ctrl-A, does it really select every cp, or just the outer boundary CPs? -SB Quote
Admin Rodney Posted March 8, 2013 Admin Posted March 8, 2013 If you want to select every CP you can use the comma key to select everything on that particular spline or the slash key "/" to select every spline/CP connected to that spline. I suppose a lot depends on what you mean by 'every'. *** I note that you mentioned before that you had peaked all of your splines. Note that you'll want to unpeak those splines (shortcut key O) or else you wont see all of the desired changes in the Bias for those splines. *** Quote

I just couldn't seem to set them en masse -- at least not all of them, some seemed to escape notice. By "every", I meant the "ctrl-A" command -- does it select every CP in the window? -SB Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 9, 2013 Hash Fellow Posted March 9, 2013 By "every", I meant the "ctrl-A" command -- does it select every CP in the window? It should select every non-locked, non-hidden CP, even those off the edge of the screen. Quote
