Re: self installing plugins - insert spaces instead of tabs

It's the code that generates the plugins. The Custom Plugin wizard uses tabs, not spaces.

Re: ICE Newbie Question, Inspect Collision Avoidance grayd out

Looks like a defect to me (I put some logmessage calls into the CrowdFx plugin, and the code that should enable that option never detects collision avoidance).

Re: Emit Strands though Object and Collide ?

Your ICE tree is not in the Simulation region. And the fact that your Get Data node is red suggests to me that you are getting a scene reference to a point cloud. That won't work with the Collide node (according to the docs). Also, plugging locations into a Get .NbPoints doesn't quite make sense to ...

Re: Disappearing Compounds

Well, I noticed that Add Point was missing yesterday, but clicking the Refresh button brought it back.

Re: Arrays - How to select/mod specific particle in a pointCloud

No ID ID is a special ICE attribute. It applies only to points, and you cannot set it manually. The ID attribute is automatically set by the Add Point and Clone Point nodes as well as by any compounds that contain them (including the various Emitters and Spawning compounds). However, if you get a p...

Re: Cant scrub in other viewpoints

Depends if he really meant "scrub" when he wrote "scrub".
From the docs and my own observations: Note that if you scrub in the timeline, all viewports are still updated at each frame, not just the one selected as the playback view.
