Send to Maya

Use these options to set what happens when you select File > Send to Maya.

Send as New Scene

Opens a new scene in Maya, and sends the selected objects from MotionBuilder. If Maya is not already running, this choice opens it. If Maya is already running, you are prompted to save the current scene or cancel. Selecting Cancel stops the send operation.

Update Current Scene

Available only if Maya is running. Updates the Maya scene by sending the current MotionBuilder selection. If no objects are selected, this choice sends the selection that was previously sent.

Add to Current Scene

Available only if Maya is running. Sends the current selection to Maya. Any selected objects that have already been sent are duplicated in the Maya scene.

Select Previously Sent Objects

Selects all of the objects that were previously sent to Maya. This choice is a convenient way to see which objects are already being shared, and to choose which objects to add to the selection.
