HotKey for hiding Joint preview

[gautham.chandran47]

Its not much job but its annoying to evey time hide the joint visibility by going to show > and toggle joints.

I was wondering if there is any way to do this using hotkey or a custom script from the shelf .

Hi!

Use "Echo all Commands" in Script Editor to see the right command and assign this to a hotkey with Hotkey Editor.

But the show command of the Viewport will only work for one specific window/Viewport.

You may better use (MEL):

hideShow -joints -hide;

hideShow -joints -show;

How to do it on one hotkey?

[ZigaPokorn3479]

dR_DoCmd("viewJointsTGL")

Thanks for this. Any wonder why such a basic function is not easily accessible.
Curious what your solution would be to just toggle visibility for all kinematics?

Trying to keep the viewport window uncluttered is becoming more of a task these days.

Thank you again.

pan =cmds.getPanel(  type='modelPanel') #gets all panels
if (cmds.modelEditor( pan[-1], q=1, j=1)): # using Echo commands on u can find number of your panel
    cmds.modelEditor(pan[-1], e=1, j=0)
else:
    cmds.modelEditor(pan[-1],e=1, j=1)  

Here is python v if needed

Alternatively to scripting methods, you can use the hotkey editor to search "View Joints TGL" and assign it to whatever input you want, personally use alt 3, since alt 1 toggles curves vis and alt 2 toggles geo vis. Remember to save a hotkey set so it is there next time you open maya
