X-Plane plug in for ac3d animation problem

Hello group, I recently purchased ac3d after a five minute trial from the demo version packaged with X-Plane 9, real impressive software. I downloaded the
X-Plane plug in for ac3d from the laminar research site and installed it in the
AC3D plugins folder. I also added the Xplanesupport.tcl folder (58kb) and the latest X-plane data refs.txt (348kb) in the plugins folder with the xplanessupportWin.p folder (922 kb) In addition there are an additional 44 files generated by this one plug in residing in the folder. The computer is a Heulet Packard 3.4Ghz intel with 4Gb 1300 mhz ram and a 1Gb nvidia ge force 9800 video card. The
operating system is XP home.
I imported an aircraft. from Rhino V4 as 3ds and saved that as an .ac file.
I named all the objects and did the heirarchy groupings for animation. Then I clicked the make rotation line in the X-Plane dropdown menu, then clicked the Xplane object properties and got no list of x-refs to choose from as shown in the online videos.
The question is how do I get the plug in to display the X-Plane x-refs?
