Perhaps. there are some other parent controls, that move this rectangle, which might be for rotation only. Try to unlock it if you have locked it by accident.</P><P>Yes, this menu is mostly grayed out, when you have no channels selected. Shift-click the TranslateXYZ, then unlock.</P><P>In case the attributes are hidden, you'll need to open Windows&gt;GeneralEditors&gt;ChannelControl and unhide translate attributes. Then do Unlock. Unlocking also can be done within AttributeEditor bys RMB clicking on e.g. TX attribute and choosing Unlock.</P> Tue, 20 Apr 2021 11:55:21 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-animation-and-rigging-forum/help-transformer-is-grey/m-p/10253333#M6817 hamsterHamster 2021-04-20T11:55:21Z Re: HELP, TRANSFORMER IS GREY??? https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-animation-and-rigging-forum/help-transformer-is-grey/m-p/12416721#M6818 <P>I'm sorry can't make it.</P> Sun, 03 Dec 2023 22:01:49 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-animation-and-rigging-forum/help-transformer-is-grey/m-p/12416721#M6818 yrbena 2023-12-03T22:01:49Z Re: HELP, TRANSFORMER IS GREY??? https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-animation-and-rigging-forum/help-transformer-is-grey/m-p/12417680#M6819 <P><SPAN>If you want, I'll send you the file</SPAN></P> Mon, 04 Dec 2023 09:52:40 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-animation-and-rigging-forum/help-transformer-is-grey/m-p/12417680#M6819 yrbena 2023-12-04T09:52:40Z
