LayoutTools2011 for Maya2011 (update)
Posted by STLR, 24 September 2010 7:00 pm
 "Pin It")
This should be the final version (fingers crossed) of LayoutTools2011 for Maya2011 barring any unexpected bugs/issues. Thank you to those of you that provided feedback when I posted the beta over the summer. I was able to fix most of the bugs (e.g. the LT_form bug) that were reported and I even decided to add a couple of feature requests including a new feature for storing search paths and prefixes to a shelf (i.e. bookmarking).
Check out the following movie to see the most recent bug fixes as well as a couple of new additions.
This is a movie I recorded a couple of months ago that covers the more recent UI changes for the 2011 version.
And here is an older post that is more of overview of LayoutTools, including the new features from the 2010 version.
LayoutTools2011 -> Install Package
LayoutTools2011 -> Installation Instructions
Note: After LayoutTools is installed and run for the first time, it can then be opened with the "l" hotkey.
- "l" will toggle as a docked window.
- "Shift + L" will toggle it as a floating window.
Also... please post any idea for improvement or general feature requests in the comments section below. I'm always looking for feedback. Thanks!

I'm appreciated your time to read so hope anyone know how to fix it. I struggled and figured out how to fix it but I gave it up without anyone know advice about it.

I`m using Maya in my work (architecture design) and I have to setup Z axis up as all models are coming from various softwares that have typically Z axis up.
Is it possible to implement in Layout Tools option to switch from Y axis up to Z axis up (similarly to mr sun and sky)with all the tools working properly?

First thanks to Steven for this wonderful tools.
For those who have problem with running LTtools and having a error msg like this.
LT_UI.mel" line 1055.51: Unterminated string.
text -l " ? -al left -fn boldLabelFont;
text -l " ? " -al left -fn boldLabelFont;
you can just go to your "Region and Language" on your "control panel" under "Administrative tab Change system locale to English.
Enjoy

Otherwise I'm really sorry about the delay with LT. Typically I try to get LT out within a few weeks of the release if possible. However there has been a UI bug in the 2012 release of Maya that totally hosed the LT UI layout and it has been close to impossible for me to find the time to figure out a work around. I think I have found a solution but it's going to take me a fair amount of time to essentially convert the entire UI layout to a different format. Keep in mind that it's just me.. I created LT and I have to maintain it... and unfortunately I do it pretty much on my own time.
As for having this functionality directly in Maya. I totally agree. It would be great if it were in Maya proper... I've pushed for it for years. But unfortunately it is not
