Question about DisplayInfo Parameter Sets

Question about DisplayInfo Parameter Sets

1) For click & drag. The parameter marking mechanism in XSI works on
selected objects so if your DisplayInfo is under the scene root you need
to select the scene root for this to work. For DisplayInfo properties
attached to 3D objects it works better because selecting the object
causes the custom parameters to be displayed and the scrubbing works
properly because the object is selected. (We really should make a
temporary selection when the object is not selected so this could be
viewed as a bug/omission on our part)

2) The name displayed is the same one shown in the property page but
there is an option to display the name of the proxy parameter. (i.e.
light_light_soft_light_intensity) Go into Shift+S -> Stats -> Custom
Info and check
"Use Proxy Parameter Names".

Hope this helps.

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.

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.
