A preset is a collection of attribute settings you can save from one node and reapply to any number of other nodes. This lets you store complex node setups, such as a library of lights set up with the attribute values you want. Maya comes with a variety of presets for various nodes, such as fluids. To create a preset 1 Open the node you want to take presets from in the Attribute Editor. 2 In the Attribute Editor, press the left mouse button on the Presets button (to the right of the node name) to show a pop-up menu and select Save (preset type) Preset. 3 Type a name for the new preset and click Save Attribute Preset. If the preset already exists, you are prompted to overwrite it or save it with a different name. To apply a preset to another node 1 Open the node you want to apply a preset to in the Attribute Editor. 2 In the Attribute Editor, press the left mouse button on the Presets button (to the right of the node name) to show a pop-up menu.
