Biped problems (Duplicating keys on Xtras)

Bruno Afonseca

Hey,

I've been having a small problem that's quite annoying. When duplicating keyframes on multiple bones (image 1), the extra bones' keys don't get copied (image 2).

So I need to go on each bone and do it by hand.
Here's the biped structure on the motion rollout:

Does anyone have an idea on why this happens? I've looked around and found nothing.
Thanks!

I can't duplicate this error in Max 2014x64 with the latest service pack.
What version of Max are you using? Can you share your file? (Even just the biped part)

Same thing for me on max 2011, never found a fix for it. Shift-dragging multiple regular biped bones work fine, but not X-tras, only one of the selected X-tras get copied, and I have to then shift-drag the remaining Xtras individually.

Hey monster! here's the file:

I'm on Max 2012 x64. Maybe it's a bug?

So, I can reproduce the problem in Max 2013x64 Product Update 6. But it works in 2014x64. There is a workaround you can use with the Dope Sheet and Copy/Paste time. I made a video of how to do it. But basically, you use the Select Time tool to select some keys, then copy, then click where you want to paste, then press paste. The only thing you have to make sure is that the tracks are selected on the left, and they are by default if you just open the dope sheet.

oh wow, thanks a lot!
I've never used the dope sheet, never felt the need to. This will help me quite a bit!
