Maya Toolkit: Incorrect window scaling

Hi all

I just solved an issue I had regarding the size of two windows within maya.
On is the “Create Rig Pose” window and the other is the “Publish Chacater” window.
I`m running UE4-4.1 and Maya 15 on a Windows 7 machine.

This still seems to be an issue for some others so the issue needs to be addressed in an update or hotfix.
But so far ,here is a temporary solution.

Go to your UE4 Build path and navigate to the toolkits scripts folder
e.g. …\Unreal Engine\4.0\Engine\Extras\Maya_AnimationRiggingTools\MayaTools\General\Scripts

(!) be sure to make a backup (!)

Open the ART_skeletonBuilder_UI.py. I opened the script with Microsoft Visual Stuio 2012 (similar software should work just as fine)

Once you opened the script navigate to the entry where it says:
window = cmds.window(“rigPoseCreationUI”, w = 200, h = 300, sizeable = True, titleBar = True, titleBarMenu = True, mnb = False, mxb = False, title = “Create Rig Pose”)

→ using a search tool within the software helps a lot! Try searching for “Create Rig Pose”.

once you find the line, change the “sizeable” value from “False” to “True”.
You could also change the size by changing the “h =” value to “whatever you like”.

The same goes for the “Publish Character” window and this line you are looking for:
self.widgets[“publishUIWindow”] = cmds.window(“publish_ui_window”, w = 300, h = 800, mxb = False, mnb = False, sizeable = True, title = “Publish Character”)

Change the “sizeable” value and/or the “h =” value

Save the script and overight the existing (!) be sure to have a backup before you save (!)

Start or restart Maya

You should now be able to resize the former affected windows.

I hope this helped.

In both cases I changed my height, many thanks You saved me a lot of time

I also get incorrectly scaled windows for Publish Character in Maya 2015 student edition on 1920x1080 resolution monitor. I was running Maya windowed, and full-screen also makes no difference.

Thanks for the info on fixing this, but hopefully it will get fixed by devs next time or before long.
