MAYA 2008 Shelf Missing and unable to program Hotbox Button
Hi
I previously uninstalled the 3D connexion shelf when I was trying to get the controller to work with Maya 2008.
I have now installed the new drivers, but still cant configure the controller because the shelf is not there!
Does anyone have any idea how to do this?
Also- does anyone have any clue on how to set the buttons up to bring up the hotbox? If I try it just goes to all four views. The hotbox normally comes up if you keep your hand on the space bar, but the controller does not seem to recognise that its button is pressed down continuosly
If you can help I would really appreciate it
Thanks

Hi Robert,
thanks for the reply. I have just tried that, but unfortunately it does not work...
Is there any other suggestion you may have? I use the controller in my Inter Mac when its in PC mode, but I only have an old licence of Maya in PC mode, and really would like to use it in OSX.
Any help would be appreciated as I love using this controller to model with!
Thanks

Hi,
You can open the script editor and type:
When you execute this with a right-click the control panel should come up.
Also there should be a second 3Dconnexion-icon in the right-upper corner of Maya - this one is also missing?
It seems as something went wrong with your installation - especially with the shelf-tab as movement seems to work.
What you can try is the following (first close Maya):
A) Navigate to Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya and rename 2008 to 2008.old
Or do this on a console:
B) Start and quit Maya
C) Reinstall the PlugIns by opening the 3DConnexion Control Panel in System Preferences and select "Configure - Install Plug-ins..."
D) Launch Maya and see if it works
You can open the script editor and type:
Code: Select all
C3DxShelfTab_OnControlPanel;

Hi there,
sorry for the gaps in my response- I am constantly traveling with work. But I would love to get the bottom of this and use this wicked controller so thanks for your help so far.
Ok- I couldnt get the controller to work properly, so I uninstalled the 3DConnexion shelf tab, by throwing it in the trash.
Whenever I try and reinstall the software the shelf tab nowhere to be found..
BTW- moving the controller does nothing, even though I tried to install the Maya plugins..
thanks
