Node Publishing Options

Use these options when publishing nodes in you advanced assets.

Publish as Selection Transform

Determines the node that is the selection transform of the asset for asset centric selection and acts as a possible parent and child anchor. For more information, see Asset centric selection.

Publish Parent Anchor

Sets a node to retain its plug information. This allows you to perform hierarchical or name changes to the node without breaking its relationship to future child nodes. For more information, see Publish or unpublish nodes.

Publish Child Anchor

Sets a node to retain its plug information. This allows you to perform hierarchical or name changes to the node without breaking its relationship to future parent nodes. For more information, see Publish or unpublish nodes.

Node Unpublishing

Use these options when you want unpublish nodes in you advanced assets.

Unpublish Selection Transform

Resets the node set as the selection transform for the asset (this returns asset centric selection to the default behavior). For more information, see Asset centric selection

Unpublish Parent Anchor

Resets the node currently published as the parent of the asset to not retain its plug information. For more information, see Publish or unpublish nodes

Unpublish Child Anchor

Resets the node currently published as the child of the asset to not retain its plug information. For more information, see Publish or unpublish nodes

Set Current Asset

Lets you set an asset in the scene as the current asset. Only unreferenced assets without a transform can set as the current asset. Once an asset is set as the current asset, any subsequently created nodes are automatically placed inside it.

See Set the current asset.
