I can reproduce it at will.]]> Mon, 25 Apr 2016 19:28:33 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5620-move-an-attachment.aspx Message from PatMarrNC
I've also noticed that if I have the Muvizu program MAXIMIZED, none of the windows will open! I have to run the program on the middle setting (neither minimized nor maximized) then stretch the window to fit my screen. Otherwise all sorts of dialog boxes just won't initialize!]]> Mon, 25 Apr 2016 13:58:41 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5620-move-an-attachment.aspx Message from ukBerty
There did used to be an issue that if you closed the edit screen on a character attachment it could be a challenge to get it back, but you could. I think you close the whole edit window or select a different attachment point or something - can't remember or recreate now.....

I still find it strange though, that if you create an object by importing it, it doesn't show up in the Scene view. Not a showstopper - unless your prop is tiny and hard to find - but not the behaviour I would expect ; since you could fill a scene with dozens of your own props and it would show nothing.]]> Mon, 25 Apr 2016 04:06:46 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5620-move-an-attachment.aspx Message from PatMarrNC primaveranz wrote:

It looks like you can only change an attachments position before you save the movie. Once you have done that if you reopen the movie you can't access the attachment again. Well, I can't anyway.

MrDrWho's response is correct, but let me restate what he already said in different words.

You seem to be trying to select the attachment by clicking on it, as you might do for any other object. But once an object is attached to a character, it isn't treated as a separate object any more. Rather, it is treated like one of the character's attributes (selected in the same way that a hat or hair would be selected... through the right click character edit process)

Since there is no cigarette attachment point, you must have used some other feature (like beard or nose or hat) to load your model . Whichever one you used, if you go back to that feature in the edit menu, the slider menu that MrDrWho mentioned will then appear... and the position of an attachment is controlled by moving those sliders.]]> Mon, 25 Apr 2016 02:41:17 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5620-move-an-attachment.aspx Message from primaveranz It looks like you can only change an attachments position before you save the movie.

Also I notice that if you import an object that you created as a .FBX into the set, it doesn't appear in the Scene window. Is this a known bug?]]> Mon, 25 Apr 2016 00:59:44 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5620-move-an-attachment.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 09:30:35 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5620-move-an-attachment.aspx Message from primaveranz Sat, 02 Apr 2016 02:30:23 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5620-move-an-attachment.aspx Message from drewi ]]> Sat, 02 Apr 2016 01:53:27 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5620-move-an-attachment.aspx Message from primaveranz Sat, 02 Apr 2016 01:10:21 GMT
