Ep curve tool is invisible in isolate select mode;

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 02:50:47 GMT

Hello guys,

Question1: I was follow ing a tutorial of modeling. I found that the tutor can create ep curves by using ep curve tool when he select other object and enter the "isolate select" mode first.

I don't know which version of maya he was using but my maya 2016 sp6 can't seem to do it the same way.

When I first select some objects and isolate them then when I try to use ev curve tool to create a curve, I can't see any the control vertex when creating it or the actual curve after I finishing creating the curve.

The only thing I can do is to use the "add selected object" from "isolate select" menue on the viewport bar...

Does anyone encounter the same issue? is there an work around? Is it even normal?

I thought there is a way to resovle this is using layers, but it might involve python or mel script....but I am not a coder ...:/

2: Another thing also buging me is, when I am isolating select objects in one viewport, other viewports are not doing the same thing too. Is there a way or option that I can sync them? I mean when I went into a isolate select mode, every other viewport also went into isolate select mode?

Hope anyone can see it, be greatful if anyone can answer the question... 🙂

doesn´t look like he entered isolate select mode. i guess he used something like "alt+h" which is "hide unselected". (btw. ctrl+shift+h shows last hidden again!)

for the second question: no actually there is no way to distribute the isolate mode to all viewports i´m aware of.
