Disable Animation Layers

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello everyone,

 

I've run into a little trouble with Max's Animation Layers.

 

I've created animation layers in my scene, and although I've deleted them and then disabled the Base Layer, the LayerCount of the scene still shows 1 (command MaxScript: AnimLayerManager.getLayerCount()).

 

Is there any way of deleting the layers definitively?

 

Thanks a lot for your help!

 

PS: Attached is a recreation of my problem.

What are you seeing in Dope Sheet? Animation Layers in Max are just List controllers with a tool added for managing them. Try resetting transform or change the position and orientation controllers back to the default manually and see if it still reports it. 

 

Personally I don't, and never have used the Animation Layers in Max and have written my own using list controllers and my own management function. This has allowed to be create and manage layers accross many objects without them becoming unsync'd as can happen with the built in one.
