Local Tools Online Documentation

Customization:

Adding Local Tools menu item:

  From the MenuItem directory inside the script archive you will find 2 directories. One for version 7.0 and one for maya version 6.5 and below.
Place the ModObjectsMenu.mel file from your maya version directory to the local directory MyDocuments\maya\"version"\scripts, the same directory you've placed the main script file to.
Next time you will start maya the Local Tool menu item will show up in the Modify --> Transformation Tools menu.

Positioning the HUD:

  The height of the HUD is customizable. By default the HUD is placed in the 9'th block to make sure you will be able to see it. Depending on your screen resolution and personal preference you may want to move the hud lower or higher. To do that type HKLTHUDPosition( height ); command to the command line or script editor. The supplied integer value there is the desired height for your HUD. Values below 9 will lower the hud, values above 9 will higher it up.
Say you want to position the hud 3 rows higher, you would type this command: HKLTHUDPosition(12);
The HUD height is saved as an option var, thus saved between different sessions of maya.
