Using Project (PWS) Filters


Rodney

Recommended Posts

  • Admin

I'm adding this topic because I'm sure to forget exploring it further...

 

Filters are very useful for quickly finding resources in the Project Workspace (PWS).

 

Also very useful is that we can save those Filters in the Project File.

 

Inside the file itself (the text of the file that is) filters appear as in the following:

 

Name=Filter for Models
Model
At least initially the order of the list is by order of how the resource is opened in the file so it can be handy to have some filters open as assets are added into a Project.
In this way they can be more easily managed, renamed (by saving), etc.
A downside of using Filter (besides the fact that they are hard to find and therefore easily forgotten is that crashes can ensue while using them.
We'll need to investigate that.

Off the top of my head I can't say I know what a 'sensor' is although that likely has something to do with Motion Capture.
Come to think of it... there are more than a few things in that list I should investigate.

If you can make a crash happen, definitely report that.

 

I will note that my favorite filter is the custom "Filter from Selection" that lets me identify sets of bones that may not normally be consecutive to each other in the PWS (for example all the head neck and spine bones) and then see only those bone channels displayed. This makes it easy to examine their keyframes as a group and keyframe them as a group without needing to dodge other bones.
