CutKeys

Description

Deletes FCurveKeys for the specified timerange (from StartFrame to EndFrame) from one or more FCurves and then copies them to the buffer. You can then use the PasteKeys command to complete the cut-paste action (move the cut keys from the buffer onto another fcurve).

Tip: You specify each fcurve to cut from by identifying the parameter it drives in the InputObjs argument.

CutKeys is the command equivalent of the cut action in the dopesheet and should be used when trying to emulate dopesheet behaviour.

Scripting Syntax

CutKeys( [InputObjs], [StartFrame], [EndFrame], [Reset], [Ripple], [SelectedKeysOnly], [Type] )

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

InputObjs

String

List of animatable parameters (for example "cone*/kine.local.pos"). This parameter uses the Type parameter to interpret which parameters to use in this way:

- If Type == siInputParameters then InputObjs is used exactly as input (either from the specified list or the animatable parameters on the selected objects).

- If Type == siAnimatedParameters then InputObjs is expected to be a list of objects on which each animatable parameter will be affected.

- If Type == siAllAnimatedParameters then the value of InputObjs is ignored and instead the command uses all animated parameters on all objects in the entire scene.

Default Value:

If no value is specified for this parameter, the Object List will use the selected

objects or parameters respecting the scope indicated by the Type argument.

 

StartFrame

Double

Lower bound of the frame interval

Default Value: 1

EndFrame

Double

Upper bound of the frame interval

Default Value: 100

Reset

Boolean

Flag to force the buffer cleanup

Default Value: True

Ripple

Boolean

Flag to ripple the keys

Default Value: True

SelectedKeysOnly

Boolean

True to cut only the selected keys within the timerange (from StartFrame to EndFrame). To create or modify a key selection, use the SelectKeysInTimespan command.

By default (false), this command operates on all keys within the timerange.

Default Value: False

Possible Values:

0: False

1: True

Type

siParameterScope

Parameter scope of the operation

Default Value: siInputParameters
