Set Local translation Z and Local Rotation X,Y to zero and clear the keys

[angelo.samson]

Hi

Sorry for asking too much, I have another question in Motion Builder 2014 python, How can I set Lcl Translation Z and Lcl Rotation X,Y to zero and clear their keys.

Is there a simple way to do this in python motion builder 2014? Thank you so much for your help!

from my notes, I hope I won't write a nonsense here, no time to doublecheck, apologies:

access Fcurve with this long thingy:

objectreference.Translation.GetAnimationNode().Nodes[0].FCurve.Keys[0]

here meaning of separate elements is:
-- objectreference is a reference to the object. Eg. a=FBModelNull("NewNull") stores the reference to variable a. Use objref=FBFindModelByLabelName("namespace:myObjectName") to find specific object by its long name.
-- Translation or Rotation or Scaling - access curve set You need.

-- Nodes[0] - returns X, [1] is Y and [2] is Z curve of Trans, Rot or Scaling. Please note this will fail if these properties are not animated(!!)

-- .FCurve - this returns the reference to a function curve. From here, You can clear all keys etc. specifically.FCurve.EditClear() removes all keys on that curve... You probably may want to leave one key with a still value, or set this value manually in a property.

-- and if You continue in the statement, so .Keys returns an array of all keys in the curve. You can alter them as needed. Keys[0] returns the first key structure, Keys[1] next, Keys[-1] is the last one etc. - these are of FBFCurveKey class.

also, You can make the property static, not animated...
objectreference.Translation.SetAnimated(False) - this kills all keys on all XYZ curves of translation. Use objref.Rotation or .Scaling for other curves.
