# Maya Attribute Resetter

A simple util for quickly resetting transform or other node attributes to their defaults in Maya.

Resetter is most useful in animation workflows, where you often want to reset a control to its default state without having to type in 0s and 1s in the channel box. Any transform node can be reset to its "zeroed-out" state without any setup, and special attributes (such as IKFK blend attributes) can have their default values stored on the node so that they are also restored when resetting a node to its default state.

## Installation

Download the [latest release](https://github.com/bohdon/maya-resetter/releases/latest) and unzip the contents into your `~/Documents/maya/modules` folder.

Run the following to launch the Resetter GUI:

```python

import resetter

resetter.GUI()

```

## Main Commands

Here are some of the main commands that make useful shelf buttons or hotkeys.

```python

import resetter

# store the selected nodes current keyable values as their defaults

resetter.setDefaults()

# reset selected nodes using defined defaults or basic transform defaults

resetter.reset()

# reset selected nodes using only defined defaults

resetter.reset(useBasicDefaults=False)

```
