Deleting attributes

[subscream]

Hi

I have added an attribute to a an object. Now I want to delete this attribute and make a new one. How do you do this because it won't delete using "delete attribute-option" in the channelcontrol.
Is it just me or is there something else to it?

Select the object and try Modify -> Delete Attibrute... to bring up the box. This is for Maya 3.0 only I believe.

Otherwise, if deleting it from the channel box dosen't work (has happened to me in the past too) you can just open up the "channel control" and make it non-keyable. Won't show up in the channel box any more.

hi,

Or perhaps you could save the scene as ASCII
and remove the attribute from the scene file
with a text editor.

Cheers,
