Description:

In Maya 2017, panels are docked in the UI using the new Workspace system. The ornatix operator stack is still based on the Dock Control system from previous versions. In order to seemlessly integrate the ornatrix UI with Maya, please convert the operators stack UI to a workspaceControl (http://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2017/CHS/Maya-Tech-Docs/Commands/workspaceControl.html). This will allow it to be docked along side the other workspace control-based UI panels like the channel box, the attribute editor, outliner, etc.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for the pointer, actually I looked how to dock the stack alongside the other panels and didn't find anything, maybe because I searched in some older Maya version. This might not work, however, because the stack panel is created in C++, not MEL, but we'll give it a try.

Thanks for getting back to me, Ivan. I have successfully made a workspace control using pymel and qt, but I'm also unsure how you would do this in the C++ api. Something to look in to at some point.

 

Thanks again!
