Default Primitives SettingsAuthor: Ciaran Moloney Quickly set a preset for the most common poly and surface primitives. Softimage 2012
only.
ICE geometry is the next hot thing (and rightly so), but most users will still rely
on the old primitive meshes created from the modeling menu. Unfortunately, one of
the more annoying things in Softimage is an inability to store presets for any of
those primitives. If you always work with a 32*32 subdivided grid you'd probably have
to add a new button somewhere in the UI to run a script or command that generated
you favorite primitive. Hardly a very dynamic solution.
This plugin attempts to make it easy for users to quickly store a primitive preset,
without the need for custom buttons cluttering up the UI - just use the same Get >
Primitive menu as always. New SDK features (siOnEndCommand and the undo complex) are
being used, so this will only work with Softimage 2012.
Features: Supports cone, cube, cylinder, disc, grid, sphere, torus polygon and surface meshes.
Store size, subdivision and SRT settings for each primitive in a custom preference.
Pop-up menu allows the user to quickly store the settings from a selected primitive
in the 3D view. (Alt-right-click on a single selected mesh that has a live primitive
- select the Set Primitive Defaults menu).

Hello,
does somebody know what changed from Soft 2012 to 2015 SP2 that doesnt make this addon work.
It seems that everything works fine.
Just the settings dont get stored when i restart XSI.

That's weird. I just checked it on my 2015 R2-SP2 and after a restart the settings seem to persist.
edit: are you running it on "Windows 10"? I am running Softimage 2015 R2-SP2 as an administrator to
circumvent permission issues with loading and saving...
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

Iam running it on Win7 64bit.
I tryd running it as Admin but still no luck....
Also checked the write protection of the Softimage folders ... but iam the owner.
The write protection check is still visible but greyed out. If i remove it, it comes back.
