pymel.core.general.selectKey¶
- selectKey(*args, **kwargs)¶
This command operates on a keyset. A keyset is defined as a group of keys within a specified time range on one or more animation curves. The animation curves comprising a keyset depend on the value of the -animationflag: keysOrObjects: Any active keys, when no target objects or -attribute flags appear on the command line, orAll animation curves connected to all keyframable attributes of objects specified as the command line’s targetList, when there are no active keys.keys: Only act on active keys or tangents. If there are no active keys or tangents, don’t do anything. objects: Only act on specified objects. If there are no objects specified, don’t do anything. Note that the -animationflag can be used to override the curves uniquely identified by the multi-use -attributeflag, which takes an argument of the form attributeName, such as translateX. Keys on animation curves are identified by either their time values or their indices. Times and indices can be given individually or as part of a list or range (see Examples). This command places keyframes and/or keyframe tangents on the active list.
Flags:
Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties addTo / add bool Add to the current selection of keyframes/tangents animation / an unicode Where this command should get the animation to act on. Valid values are objects,keys,and keysOrObjectsDefault: keysOrObjects.(See Description for details.) attribute / at unicode List of attributes to select clear / cl bool Remove all keyframes and tangents from the active list. controlPoints / cp bool This flag explicitly specifies whether or not to include the control points of a shape (see -sflag) in the list of attributes. Default: false. (Not valid for pasteKeycmd.) float / f floatrange value uniquely representing a non-time-based key (or key range) on a time-based animCurve. Valid floatRange include single values (-f 10) or a string with a lower and upper bound, separated by a colon (-f 10:20 hierarchy / hi unicode Hierarchy expansion options. Valid values are above,below,both,and none.(Not valid for pasteKeycmd.) inTangent / it bool Select in-tangents of keyframes in the specified time range includeUpperBound / iub bool When the -t/time or -f/float flags represent a range of keys, this flag determines whether the keys at the upper bound of the range are included in the keyset. Default value: true. This flag is only valid when the argument to the -t/time flag is a time range with a lower and upper bound. (When used with the pasteKeycommand, this flag refers only to the time range of the target curve that is replaced, when using options such as replace,fitReplace,or scaleReplace.This flag has no effect on the curve pasted from the clipboard.) index / index int index of a key on an animCurve keyframe / k bool select only keyframes (cannot be combined with -in/-out) outTangent / ot bool Select out-tangents of keyframes in the specified time range remove / rm bool Remove from the current selection of keyframes/tangents replace / r bool Replace the current selection of keyframes/tangents shape / s bool Consider attributes of shapes below transforms as well, except controlPoints. Default: true. (Not valid for pasteKeycmd.) time / t timerange time uniquely representing a key (or key range) on a time-based animCurve. Valid timeRanges include single values (-t 10) or a string with a lower and upper bound, separated by a colon (-t 10:20 toggle / tgl bool Toggle the picked state of the specified keyset unsnappedKeys / uk float Select only keys that have times that are not a multiple of the specified numeric value. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list. Derived from mel command maya.cmds.selectKey
Example:
import pymel.core as pm # Select all translateX keyframes on nurbsSphere1 in the range 10 to 20. # pm.selectKey( 'nurbsSphere1', time=(10,20), attribute='translateX' ) # select all the animation of the active objects, range 0-30 # pm.selectKey( time=(0,30) )
