Subject: Question about DisplayInfo Parameter Sets


I'm setting up DisplayInfo parameter set so that I can view the
parameters in the actual 3D window. According to the manual, I should
be able to click and drag on the parameter name to slide the values.
However, I can't seem to get this to work. All I can do from the
DisplayInfo view is click on the actual value and change it by
entering a numerical value.

>>>That is correct clicking the parameter and dragging left or right
should change the value

Try the following script (VB) and see if the same occurs:

GetPrimLight "Point.Preset", "Point"
AddProp "Custom_parameter_list", , , "DisplayInfo_Light"
SelectObj "Point.DisplayInfo_Light"
SelectObj "Point", , True
CopyPaste "Point.light.soft_light.intensity", , "Point.DisplayInfo_Light", 3
SetMarking "DisplayInfo_Light.Point_light_soft_light_intensity"
EditParameterDefinition , "Intensity", 4, 0, 1000000, 0, 1,
"Intensity", "Intensity"
SetValue "Camera.camvis.custominfo", True


Also, can I change the parameters' name in the DisplayInfo?!?! Or at
the very least, show the entire parameter name like in the actual set
itself? For instance, say I want to add a light's intensity to the
DisplayInfo. In the set itself, the parameter name is
"light_light_soft_light_intensity" but  in the 3D window the name is
just "intensity." Obviously, this will cause confusion if I want to
add more than one light to the set.  Ideally, however, I'd like to
make my own custom names.

>> You can edit them by selecting the parameter and going to
Create>Parameter>Edit >>Parameter Definition
