Reordering custom parameters...

Reordering custom parameters...

Hi,

time ago someone asked about reordering custom parameters.

Because some day I could fall in the same problem I saved the answer to that
question. Today is the day.

I need to reorder some custom parameters. But something doesn't works.

-First I ctrl + shift + rightclick to "install" the spdl.
-After that I Ctrl + Shift + Right click to "edit" it, and here comes the
problem. XSI don't allow to edit it, always says "This property set is not
installed"

Anyone knows what I'm missing?

Ignasi.

PS. Here is the original answer:

You need to edit the SPDL:

- shift + ctrl + click the title bar (not the window title, the PSet title) and
go to "install" and name it "TEMP.spdl"

- shift + ctrl + click the title bar (not the window title, the PSet title) and
go to "edit"

- Go to the Layout section, if it is something like:

Layout "Default"
{
           "ParamBool";
           "ParamByte";
            "Param";
            "Param1";
            "Param2";
}

You can reorder it to something with groups and tabs like:

Layout "Default"
{
       Tab "First Tab"
       {
           "ParamBool";
           "ParamByte";
       }
       Tab "Second Tab"
       {
           Group "Range 0 to 1"
           {
               "Param";
               "Param1";
           }
           Group "Range -100 to 100"
           {
               "Param2";
           }
       }

}
