great script and it works

great script and it works with 2012 :) unbelievable that 3ds does not have a attribute spreed sheet editor like Maya. In 2013 it is supposed to be fixed and implemented? perhaps

Hi Jordan, i removed the ini

Hi Jordan,
i removed the ini file from plugcfg folder and it doesn´t work, and when i resize the window the tab doesn´t change, it keeps hidden.
anyway, this is not a major bug, i can live with that ;)
Thanks,

Jsrocha

I think that is because it

I think that is because it has saved you window placement and size in a ini file and the latest version needs to be a bit wider. Try grabbing the window and making it wider or deleting your plugcfg\ModModZorb_Setup.ini file and re-running
