some killer collected operations which are added to standart maya menus to use easily them.I am using that collected stuffs.but okay it is shared here .
List of extra menus will be added into your maya with ktUIMenus
1) extractPoly by Edge (which is most useful but forgotten idea by alias and autodesk)
you will addicted to it and you will alldays.and you will forget normal poly extract.very useful to cut and refine parts or UVs of poly model.this the most useful functionality is a must have stuff.
loop-cut with this-refine-combine and finally remerge them (remember pelting tools cut stuff.)
for example.you wantto delete half of object. loop edges runit.it will seperate to two half.remove bad side.duplicate mirror.remerge. so you dont need to select any piles of faces to do it.
2) reverse selection
reverses order of selection items.did you selected descened joints instead of ascending order ? or did you selected wrong order of stuffs ? than use it will reverse order of selection
3) delete unknown nodes.
cant you change your save as file type from mb to ma ? than use it. will delete all unknown nodes forgatten in scene
4) delete selected input
did you wantto delete polySmooth operation ? or a deformer so any of input at channelbox ? did you bored to write "delete polySmoothface1" than use this.
5) Merge to Last
it works similar to merge to Center.but difference is all other vertices goes to last selected vertice than merging. (this operation's menu is under of Merge To Center menu)
6--Focus Selected Influence Joint (added in version 1.0.2)
While Working with paint skin weigts tool,sometimes you gotta confuse where the influence joint is to paint it. this item will focus default influence joint to paint weights of it.
usage : ktFocusPaintSkinWeightsJoint;//if you want it also in shelf this is the command to use this item.
