Maya shelf

Post by karmazine »

Sorry, maybe its a bit stupid question, but I cant permanently get rid of D_control shelf in maya - I delete it every time maya starts and it annoys me. Please, how can i disable autoloading of it? thanks a lot.

Hi karmazine

Either the shelf exists or it doesn't, there is no method of just having individual tabs visible: you will have all of them or none.

maybe I wrote it wrong..
when I create, or delete custom shelf, its permanent. for example - if I delete "polygons" shelf, it ll disapear, and when I load Maya next time, its not there. thats what is not happennig with D_control shelf, because its loaded every time maya starts.
of coarse I know I can hide whole shelf pannel, but thats not what I am talking about.
Is it more clear now?

Hi There,

This was bugging me too. Its pretty easy to fix.

Go to your alias\maya8.0\scripts\startup folder and edit MagellanStartup.mel

search for: C3DxShelfTab();

comment this line out so it reads: // C3DxShelfTab();

Save the changes.

It would be best to make a backup of your MagellanStartup.mel file before you do this.

Hope this helps,

James

you can also comment out this line
// C3DxStatusLine();
