Remove specific nodes in history

[mikedin]

How do you remove specific nodes in history...

e.g. build a poly cube, moves some vertices, select some faces, apply a smooth to selected faces, add a planar map projection.

Aftwards can you remove the "tweaks" or the "smooth" or a specific UV Map projection node?

All this is possible with MAX's modifier stack.

Obviously removing certain constructs in the pipeline can "garble" the mesh but you should still be able to do this in Maya somehow.

I'm using Maya 4.02.

Thanks folks,

Select your object, open Graph editor, click the up and down stream button, you will see all the nodes directly related to your selection. Start deleting the individual nodes you want to get rid of.

And just like Max, some removes of history items can create undesirable results.

Thanks for your post Ollie,

I should re-word this question. Is using the hyper-graph editor/relationship editor to manually connect inputs and outputs different than using the history buttons inputs and outputs in the main status line? What advantage is there to either technique. I've noticed you can change the cache state for both and also re-order the inputs in the status line icon...

Thanks
