Split Construct and Transform Panels

Hi Alex, yes it's possible to do that by editing the files that control the UI.

The file you need to edit is named SidePane.htm and on Windows you'll find it in the install folder under the \ui sub-folder. To find it on Mac right-click the .app icon and choose "Show package contents" and inside there go to drive_c/moi/ui . Then edit the file SidePane.htm in a text editor.

Find the section that starts with <moi:PaletteHeader id="ConstructHeader">, that <moi:PaletteHeader> element and the <moi:PaletteBody> immediately following it are what currently contain both the Construct and Transform tabs.

You'll then want to insert a new <moi:PaletteHeader id="TransformHeader"> element and new <moi:PaletteBody> element pair directly after the existing one, and then just move over the Transform tab and the TransformTabContent into the new ones following the same structure as the old one, for example the new tab goes in a <moi:TabContainer> like the existing one had. That should then have it set up how you want.

If things are not working right please post your SidePane.htm file so I can see what's wrong.
