13 | Basics Windows and Editors Reference > Hypergraph tips Display the Hypergraph hierarchy in a vertical arrangement. Layout Freeform Layout Place nodes or groups of nodes in any location without conforming to structured hierarchy layouts. Automatic Layout Automatically groups the nodes into default hierarchies. Transitions > Animate Transitions, 5/10/15/20 frames By default, Maya dollies from one view to another instantaneously when you change the panel view of a graph. (For example, by selecting View > Previous View.) You can slow Maya's transition speed between views to make the view change action easier to see. 20 Frames dollies slowest, 5 Frames dollies fastest. Update > On Nodes Creation, On Selection The Hypergraph automatically updates the scene hierarchy when you add or delete an object, rendering node, or other item in the scene When you select an object in the scene hierarchy or dependency graph, the object is also selected in the workspace, Outliner, and elsewhere in Maya. Also, when you select an object in the workspace, Outliner, and elsewhere in Maya, the object becomes selected in the scene hierarchy or dependency graph. These updates slow Maya operation when you work with a complex scene or when you're examining nodes or dragging nodes to new positions in a freeform hierarchy. You can turn off the updating option to improve operation speed. Node Display Override Color Display layer colors on the nodes. Coloring the nodes helps you organize and distinguish the nodes in their respective layers. Show Cached Connections Shows any connections that are cached. Hypergraph tips Use the following tips to define an easier and faster workflow when using the Hypergraph. Upstream and downstream connections To show a shape's upstream and downstream connections, select it before you go to the DG view. It is not enough to select the transform parent. Basics 402
