Reference Node Attribute Unlocking

[Kurian O.S]

Hey Guys,

Any one was able to unlock a attribute from a reference node ?, I have a scene and it has some referenced geo and those geo has some texture applied on it. I want to change the texture path. But "fileTextureName" attribute is lock. Is there any way to unlock this attribute without going and editing the original reference file ?

Thanks

There's two ways - in maya 2014 and up there's now an option to let you do that; and you can also use the maya api to unlock even referenced attributes.

Be careful, though, as it will then let you make changes to that attribute, but I don't think it saves those changes...

import pymel.core as pm

pm.Attribute('persp.tx').__apimplug__().setLocked(False)

Like I said though... just be aware that any changes won't be saved....

As a workaround, you can store the values local to your scene (in other attributes) and connect the previously-locked attributes to those. Not sure if the connection will hold, but worst case you could add a script-node set to execute on scene start-up to reconnect.
