Is there a way to add a button to the toolbar near the render icons on start up?
Whether its by somehow creating a custom toolbar and docking it but all on startup??
It definitely isn’t straightforward to do it; maxscript doesn’t expose an interface to the toolbars. I’ve written a .NET class to do it though, as a part of the ScriptCenter project.
It’s an open-source project (GPL), so you can check it out here: http://code.google.com/p/scriptcenter/source/browse/trunk/ScriptCenter/ScriptCenter/Max/CuiFile.cs
If you want to know how it’s used, browse the source to the unittests.
Thanks Pjanssen for sharing this. I’ll check it out and let you know how it works out. It seems like such a simple task to do, but in reality it is not so easy.
I should add that at this point that class isn’t very thoroughly tested in 3dsmax yet. So make sure you make a backup of your cui file (the class does this as well, but do it manually to make sure).
And let me know how it works out
Thanks Pjanssen, was looking for this as well. I’ll let you know how it goes
Outliner lets you choose dock at startup
