Using v4 on win 11 & trying to get Max's CustomUI to work - I know there's a real simple trick to this - but can anyone please tell me which files go where?
Thx in advance :)

Hi Raven, the CustomUI .zip file is named CustomUI.2.0.beta2.zip .

When you unzip it, there will be 3 folders, "customui", "objects", and "startup".

These need to be copied into the MoI app data folder.

You can open the MOI appdata folder by typing Win+R to bring up the windows "Run" dialog and type in %appdata%\Moi that will expand to a folder like C:\Users\<Your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Moi

Copy the "customui" and "objects" folder from the .zip file into there, so you have %appdata%\Moi\customui and %appdata%\Moi\objects.

Then for the "startup" folder there will already be a folder for that in appdata so go into the startup folder from the .zip and copy all the contents of it into the already existing %appdata%\Moi\startup folder.

Ah. I knew it was that simple.
Thanks again Michael :)

Just one more question - I notice some folks have sub-folders in their libraries - does this version support that? If so, how are they set up?

Cheers :)

HI Raven, it doesn't support sub folders but it does support having multiple library folders.

To enable that there is a file "ObjLibrary.cfg.htm" to edit inside the %appdata%\Moi\customui folder.

It starts out with this:

Object Library;MOI\objects

You can add a line to set up additional library folders, like this:

Object Library;MOI\objects
Obj lib 2;MOI\objects2

That's display name first then a semi-colon then path. If you have a path with spaces in it you may need to put quotes " " around it.


Also the v5 beta supports displaying thumbnail images for .3dm files so you can just use the regular operating system file browser as an object library.

Magic as always - thanks so much Michael :)

Is there a limit to how many library folders it will handle?

Hi Raven,

Nope, no limit.
