Add Maya shelves and presets path to Custom Modules

#1 · 10. October 2020, 6:05

Hi, would it be possible to add the maya presets folder and shelves folder to the CustomModules folder just like you have plugins and scripts? From what I gather, in the documentation there are variables to append them to the PATH. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/getting-started/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/Maya-EnvVar/files/GUID-228CCA33-4AFE-4380-8C3D-18D23F7EAC72-htm.html

Our team is using some custom scripts and it would be great if I could just push out a shelf to everyone and not have to worry about anyone having problems getting it loaded or deleting it if they delete preferences. Same thing with presets.
Thanks a ton!

Edit: could you add the XBMLANGPATH variable as well as that is where shelf icons can be found as per the docs.

Hey,

In v1.3.0.48 I added 3 folders in CustomModules to MAYA_PRESET_PATH, MAYA_SHELF_PATH and XBMLANGPATH. I hope that will help you and your team.
