I wondered if anyone would be able to help. I have a problem baking AO maps in Maya with Transfer Maps every time I try to do one in my scene it says
"// Error: The attribute 'transform162.visibility' is locked or connected and cannot be modified."
I have no idea where this transform is. It says the same error on every object I pick. I have deleted history on everything and also optimised scene size to get rid of extra things that I don't need. But still no dice!
Any ideas?

    Check this attribute on the channel box ( where you can find translate, rotate, scale informations )
    its default state is "on" and it doesn't have to be colored.

    transform162 is your object name.

    I sorted by name in the outliner and managed to find it with a symbol next to it I didn't recognise...strange.
    Anyway, broke the connection on the visibility and now it seems to bake properly.

    Thanks for the help
