dForce menu options not appearing

Aethyr

Hi there,

I'm trying to use the new dForce Master presets, but for some reason the appropriate menu options to set everything up are not appearing for me. I get the Simulation Settings pane, but don't have Simulation Settings > Options > dForce (to add a dForce modifier) and similarly I'm not getting the appropriate options in Edit > Object > Geometry. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the dForce Starter Essentials but beyond that I'm lost; I had these options on the old machine and I thought I had everything back up and running.

I'd greatly appreciate any advice as I'd really like to play around with this feature on my new PC.

Are you running the 32 or 64 bit version of DS?

Aethyr

64-bit. Should have mentioned that, sorry!

DrNewcenstein

Hmm, then you should certainly see the dForce options if you can see Simulation Settings. Sounds like a job for Tech Support.

But first, re-reinstall the dForce Starter Essentials with Firewall and Antivirus off, and any other security that may be keeping it from installing the necessary libraries on C:\ drive, then reboot the PC, because Tech Support will probably suggest that.

Try Window>Workspace>Update and Merge Menus.

@Aethyr

You need to run a script to the Simulation Settings Tab (one time only)

Scripts>Utilities>Update and Merge Menus

Use the menu command rather than the script, now that it is integrated in that way I would not necessarily expect the user-facing script to remain.

Cheers, the menu version Richard suggested wasn't present for some reason, but I managed to locate the script instead. That seems to have fixed the problem, thanks everyone for the help :)
