Re: AC3D 8.0.80 / X-Plane 3.3.0b3 - DataRef and Commands
Make sure you placed the updated tcl file Andy posted above in the plugins folder within the application bundle. Then restart AC3D.
cheers Peter

And just to be 100% sure - If you open 'XPlaneSupport.tcl' in Textedit it should contain a note on line 27 about this combo box list fix on May 9th 2017. peter

I've attached a screen shot of what I am seeing with this file. In this example, I imported an obj file from Sketchup. AC3D recognizes the dataref I made with Sketchup but does not allow me to change it. The dataref imported is "sim/time/total_running_time_sec". I then tried to make an animation from scratch just to see if there was a problem with the Sketchup import, but AC3D still will not show a drop down box for the datarefs. |

This is not true for Animation Time which will always stay floating on top. One can see the difference in the title-bar of the window. X-Plane Properties has a full height title bar whereas Animation Time has a slim title bar. cheers peter

Re: AC3D 8.0.80 / X-Plane 3.3.0b3 - DataRef and Commands
The Mac has restrictions on what can go in certain window types (sometimes identified by small and large title bars). In order to get the combobox popups to work, the window needed to me made into a 'main' window, hence the thicker titlebar.
If you think any others window types should also be changed it's easy enough to edit the tcl file - let me know. |
