Creating your own shortcuts?

Hi. Im very new to maya. Ive been using a very simple gridbased 3d software and am now learning maya.

I would like a shortcut that allow me to change the grid -> size -> subdivisions to my liking.

I would need a way to switch between 64/32/16/8/1. This is so I can easily create the correct sizes required for that particular game.

Thanks!

If you were to go to the command line and enter this code..

Code:

grid -size 32;

it would change your grid to 32 units.

or you can assign this code that has a cute little interface I made to a custom hotkey.

Code:

{





        window -title "Grid Size Picker Thingy" -s 0 -tlb 1;

        formLayout  -w 150 -h 150;

        columnLayout -rs 5 -cal "left" -adj 1  -w 150 -h 150;



        text -l "Choose size";

        separator -st "in" -hr 1 -w 150;

        radioCollection;

        radioButton -l "1" -onc ("grid -s 1;");

        radioButton -l "8" -onc ("grid -s 8;");

        radioButton -l "16" -onc ("grid -s 16;");

        radioButton -l "32" -onc ("grid -s 32;");

        radioButton -l "64" -onc ("grid -s 64;");



        showWindow ;

        

}

Wow that is amazing. However it changes the amount of grids and not the grid-subdivision. How can I modify that script so it covers that particular variable instead?

Ah! I guess I skip read over the "subdivision" part. Just change the "-s" for size flag to "-d" for subdivisions.

Code:

grid -d 32;

Thanks man! You're the greatest =P
