Load in as a reference and set an attribute

[beuzel]

Hello,

I have a problem in Maya 2009 and need a solution in Python.

So, assume i have a room with walls in the scene and i want to load in a table as a maya reference. This works as expected, i set the position with a transform node and have the referenced data as a child.

But: when the table is skinned to a skeleton then the position is wrong. the position is applied twice. so, when i search all meshes inside the referenced hierarchy and set the attribute "inherited transform" to false, then it works.

the outlines shows like
- tablenode (position of the table in the room)
      - table:root (this node comes from the other file)
         - table:table (with mesh shape)

so i need a script that
- detects is something is skinned
- seaches all shapes and set the flag to its parent transform.

can someone help? especially with the detction?

something like this perhaps: all you need to do is figure out if the shape node is connected to a skinCuster.

from maya import cmds as mc
shape = mc.listRelatives(s=True)
con = mc.listConnections(shape[0], type='skinCluster')
if (con):
    mc.setAttr(".inheritsTransform", 0)
