kyyu:

The plugin that saves attribute dictionaries and attributes is the one Jim posted.

Jim:

I have this and use it to create and save the attribute dictionaries/attributes.

What I am after is a simplified version of this which only shows the attributes in a particular dictionary in a simpler gui, and allows them to be modified.

If I new how to code I could probably create a modified version of it - but I know nothing about coding.

Thanks kyyu

I have tried that one, but it does not save the added attributes with the component, and the 'Get attributes' does not allow changes.

I have a question about using attribute dictionaries/attributes.

I have need to add an attribute dictionary to components, to also add attributes to the dictionary (for example a product code, description, price etc,) and save the changes with the component. I then need to have the facilities to edit these attributes when the components are added to a models.

I do not want to use Dynamic components for this (editing of these is not available in SU Free).

I found a script to add the dictionary and attributes to components, and save them with the component. But I have not been able to find any which allows easy editing of the attributes when the component is later added to a model

Does anyone know of a script which will allow the modifying of attributes (preferably through a dialogue box) for a selected component, and which allows for the change to be saved with the component if required?

If there are not existing .rb files

They don't have any

then they are screwed

From what you say - it looks like it.

I have sent you a PM.

I do some consultancy work for a company that uses SU in all their branches.
A couple of years ago they had an employee (who is no longer with them) who created some plugins for them.
They now want to modify the plugins, but the employee is no longer with them. Although I am no script writer they have asked me to look at the scripts to see if I can modify them - they have no one in the company that knows about plugins, and they tell me that the plugins have company sensitive content so they are reluctant to pass them on to anyone else.

The first hurdle I have is that they are in .rbs format and appear to be encrypted, and from some research I see that there is a SU 'Scrambler' which encrypts plugins.

Does anyone know if it is possible to decrypt these files to be able to read them?

Is this available for download, or is it just for your use?

Try this - it's free and works well - I have used it for training sessions.

Yes - render[in] installed various files in the directory including the icons for the gui (which show in SU) and a couple of textures.

Thanks Tig.

I had already checked the permissions for the Renderin folder and sub-folders, and checked again after your response - they all have at least read/write permissions for all users - hence my confusion.

I have installed this and when I launch it I get this error

It does not stop Render[in] working but I'm sure it will cause me issues.

I posted the problem on their forum, but so far no response.

Has anyone else experienced this - or know how to resolve it.
