containers and locked attributes?

[matt estela]

Hmm, containers.

i grabbed a bunch of hypergraph nodes and put them in a container for convenience while duplicating. I've now finished that step, and wish for all those nodes to be free-floating again.

I remove the nodes from containers, then delete the empty container. Great.

Unfortunately, all the channels are locked. Can't seem to find a way to unlock them without lots of manual labour, or scripting. Surely I'm missing something...

Or is this a bug in 2009 thats since been fixed?

Ideas?

Ah, found the culprit of the bug, duplicating a container will lock all the channels of the nodes inside it.

To fix:

-graph the container(s)  in hypershade
-delete all the containers:   edit -> delete all by type -> containers
-select all the nodes in hypergraph
-run this mel command:

lockNode -l off -lu off
