説明
Bonus Tools 2019/2020 is a free collection of useful Autodesk® Maya® scripts and plug-ins. After installing Bonus Tools, an additional pull-down menu will be added to the end of the main Maya menu. This menu provides easy access to a variety of tools and utilities for daily use. Maya Bonus Tools has been organized to mimic the layout of the standard Maya menu sets. Each sub-menu contains a number of related tools. Each of these can be torn off and floated just like standard Maya menus.
Note: Due to the close timing of the releases, this update to BonusTools is supported for both Maya 2019 and Maya 2020. This means that new features added in this update will be available in both versions of Maya. However, if you have an older version of BonusTools installed for Maya 2019 you will need to uninstall it in order to use the updated tools from this version.

Hello everyone, i get this error whenever i try to use flatten components... any idea what this means?
# Error: line 1: AttributeError: file C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2020\Python\lib\site-packages\pymel\core\general.py line 3167: Attribute(u'pCylinder2.pnts[571]') has no attribute or method named 'getNormal' #
I can seem to find out howto install this. Would appreciate help
me too
Installed bonustools 2020, and when i open my scene files, everything is empty
I just installed the bonus tool but there are missing some option, like in modeling slide components is missing and also draw split and draw reduce
It was working for me for a while. But then just stopped suddenly. I've tried to Repair, Reinstall but I get the same warning message when going into UV Editing Unwrap.
// Warning: "C:/ProgramData/Autodesk/ApplicationPlugins/MayaBonusTools-2017-2020/Contents/scripts-2018/bt_autoUnwrapUVTool.mel" line 1731.56 : Redeclaration of variable "$buttonNumber" shadows previous declaration at line 1653. Previous value will be overwritten by explicit initializer.
Sent message to tech support but never heard back.
Have you dropped support for Maya LT altogether?
Did it work in Maya LT?
very usefull :)
Request support for Maya 2021 version.
You'll have to wait a while for 2021 but 2020 version was just released this week :)
I wanna too support for Maya 2021, because i 'm a beta tester of Maya, so we have 2021 already. Would be great to have bonus tools for it already, but i don't believe they will do it.
Is there a 2020 version of this ?
Here'tis :)
It's here!
Sweet.... :)
I have a lot of fatal error when I change the options of this tool...
But it's not my main issue, I can't see any icons when I click on "Update Browser Icons". I want to see my shaders library (vray, arnold, maya shaders : no icons). Any way to see them ?
I try to create some swatches/icons manually but It doesn't work.
This crash bug has been fixed in the latest version of BT. This fix should work in both Maya 2020 and Maya 2019. Otherwise icons can been created and viewed for any mb, ma or fbx file.
LayoutTools Browser Doesn't Work!!!
// Error: "C:/ProgramData/Autodesk/ApplicationPlugins/MayaBonusTools-2016-2019/Contents/scripts-2019/LT_UI.mel" line 1488.51: Unterminated string.
I have a similar issue : Warning: file: C:/ProgramData/Autodesk/ApplicationPlugins/MayaBonusTools-2016-2019/Contents/scripts-2018/LT_UI.mel line 1838: The -bs/-borderStyle flag is obsolete and should not be used. With a lot of fatal error due to the Browser and I can't see any icons in it.. even after clicking on "Update Browser Icons" Do you find a way to work with the browser ?
The same problem occurs, have you found a solution?
This has been addressed in the latest version. The fix should work in both Maya 2020 and Maya 2019.
I have the same problem here, still not working, same error.....
Bonus Tools 2019 ?
Will this work with Maya 2019 or has it been obsoleted for this version?
unwrap dont work!!!!!!!!
Try again with new installers. This should be fixed for both Maya 2019 and Maya 2018.
still not working // Error: file: C:/ProgramData/Autodesk/ApplicationPlugins/MayaBonusTools-2016-2019/Contents/scripts-2019/bt_autoUnwrapUVTool.mel line 1163: Cannot find procedure "setXGenHUDVisibility".
This error 'line 1163: Cannot find procedure "setXGenHUDVisibility"' is caused by xgenToolkit.mll not being loaded into Maya. Go into the Plug-in Manager and load the xgenToolkit.mll. The auto unwrap UV's tool should work fine afterwards.
FYI - this has been fixed for the 2020 version and also works with 2019.
Super!
Curve to Tube is broken in 2018.3. It freezes Maya
Hello, I installed bonus tool for maya 2016 but i didn't see the modelling => curve tube mesh. Disabled it?
it's in Maya 2018. Maya 2016 doesn't support it.
I just installed this tools, but there isn't "Weight Editor" in "Bonus Tools" menu.
Same here, Windows 7 + Maya 2016 (Ext 1 + SP6) and no Weight Editor can be found under the Plug-in Manager... what's going on?
Which OS? Unfortunately this plugin is only available for Windows.
Crashes every time I change icon size in the layout window (tried on different computers). Images displayed in icons are not scaled so appear cropped.
FYI - This crash bug has been fixed in the latest version of BT. This fix should work in both Maya 2020 and Maya 2019. Otherwise icons can been created and viewed for any mb, ma or fbx file.
Works fine in 2017, but I also want it to work in 2016, which is also installed on my Mac, but the "universal installer" provided ignores it, and does not install bonus tools to the older installed version of Maya.
some commands like "copy pivot from last selected" are missing in maya 2018. Any workaround?
wondering the same thing. I always use that script.
no new feature for bonus tools 2018 !!!! why ???
When is the release of "Maya2018 Bonus Tools" scheduled?
Is it slowing down?. This maya2018 hasn't come out yet. When will it be out?
Please we need the 2018 version of this plugin! I think the bonus tools should be part of each Maya releases.
Any idea when bonus tools 2018 coming?
yes
Maya 2018 Bonus tools ?? pleasssseeeeeee ... hurry... I checking everyday...
No bonus tools for Maya 2018 yet? When please? Thank you :D
