How to export the GUI to another scene file?
Thanks for sharing this great tool!
Question for the developer and users: The CGUI picker seems to be saved in the max file where you initially created it, in the Object-Space modifier list.
How do you export a CGUI from one file into another file that has the same rig?
Hi MKlejnowski, keep it up

No your not stupid at
No your not stupid at all....Actually i am. Its a bug i finally have figured out. Gonna release a version 1.5 with the fix in place which would allow it to work by simply having it in the plugin directory. Also a 2.0 version with a bunch of additional features will be coming out soon. Just have to make some new tutorial videos and i will release it. THANK YOU EVERYBODY WHO HAS BEEN TELLING ME ABOUT THE ISSUES.

hello MKlejnowski,
you are right, I'm the most stupid idiot of the planet....

Works fine !!! Thanks :-)
"titane357" This might sound
"titane357" This might sound odd but try putting the plugin into the startup and plugin directory. I really have no idea why it needs the overkill.

Can't wait to see next version, looks like just what I need !!!!!!
Thanks
I followed the steps and it
I followed the steps and it works now. My bad :(
For all Bug Reports.
For anyone reporting a bug with the plugin please provide some more steps in the matter that you are getting the tool to get errors for you. Here are some things to try to get the plugin to work.
First and foremost install the plugin into the \Scripts\Startup directory and restart your 3ds max. If you do not want to restart max just drag and drop the file from which you put into the \Scripts\Startup directory into the viewport to execute the script. This step alone should fix and --Unknown property Error people are receiving.

I just tested the script on Max 2013 X64 with the steps above and I am not receiving any errors at the moment. If you are still getting the error after trying the steps stated above then please provide me with steps on how you are getting your error so I may find a solution to it. I am also working on a version 2.0 which has cleaner UI and added features.

2013 error
3dsmax 2013x64 PU 05 error:
--Unknown property: UpdateBtnClrQuick" in undefined.
Also the size editor with the logo itself should be accessed through the edit button to free more UI space.
Cheers
