can't find attribute in attribute spreadsheet

I want to change the UV boundary smoothing method in the attribute editor under smooth mesh->opensubdiv controls-> UV Boundary Smoothing, for 100 objects.

 

The attribute is not in the attribute spreadsheet. How do I do it?

Hi!

 

Select the shape node , then in Attribute Spread Sheet select tab "All" and filter by

"osd" or "boundary"

 

the Attribute name is (dependent on setting for Names, "Nice", "Long", "Short"):

Osd Fvar Boundary
OsdFvarBoundary

Thanks for the reply but I can't find them! I checked all three naming conventions on every tab using different searches

Hi!

 

Select the shape node not the transform node.

This is a bit inconvenient when selecting multiple objects from the viewport. Because that would only select the Transform nodes. Selecting the Shape node for an individual object is easy enough, but becomes a bit tedious when batch editing multiple objects. Which is the use case where using the Attribute Spreadsheet makes the most sense.

 

For some tabs in the Attribute Spreadsheet the attributes for the shape node are shown instead even if you're having the transform node selected. This is the case for the Geometry tab for example. But that only shows 'Visibility'. Wouldn't it make sense to have the attributes for Smooth Mesh also here?
