Useful Tools for Customization
This section presents some things that are useful for creating various customizations in Softimage.
The Tool Development Environment is a layout that brings together many SDK-related views. If you spend a lot of time creating plug-ins for Softimage, you may find this layout useful.
To display the Tool Development Environment
• Choose View > Layouts > Tool Development Environment from the main menu.
The SDK example workgroup contains many sample customizations that you can use, study, or adapt for your own purposes.
To install the SDK Example workgroup
1. Open the Plug-in Manager (File > Plug-in Manager).
2. On the Workgroup tab, click Connect.
3. In the Connect Workgroup dialog box, click Try SDK Example Workgroup. If that button doesn’t appear, then the workgroup should already be installed.
4. Click OK.
The workgroup is connected and its plug-ins become available. You can explore these plug-ins using the Tree tab of the Plug-in Manager. Some are also available from the menus. For more information, see the SDK Guide.
