Missing Property Hierarchy Pane: Solved =)

I finally decided to try making a Genesis morph and followed Thorne's excellent tutorial. When it came to ERC Freezing D|S kept crashing (I had version 4.6.0.18)

I downloaded the latest version 4.6.1.33 and the Property Editor Pane wasn't there. A search through the forums revealed it was supposed to be replaced by a Property Hierarchy Pane, which wasn't there either (see attachment). I uninstalled 4.6.1.33 and installed 4.6.1.17 and met with the same result.

Could anyone point me in the right direction, please =((

I really hope the solution does not involve using DIM, because I absolutely will not (didn't go into the Beta test because of that very thing).

In the absence of the Property Hierarchy Pane, is there any way to do the ERC freeze?

Hoping to solve this and thank you for looking =)

    Property Hierarchy is in my list (see below)

    Have you tried Panes (Tabs) at the bottom?

    At the bottom of the drop down menu is what I meant :)

    See the image below. I don't know why I have the pane, and you don't, it is the same version I am using. If this doesn't work, we can investigate further.

    It is also in my list under Help > About Installed Plugins (see below) you should have a look in there too, it may shed some light on the matter.

    For some reason it's subsumed in the Daz Studio Pro Plug-in Bundle, only when that's expanded it becomes visible. That may have something to do with this whole thing.

    Jimmy, your menu is not in the standard order - you should have Panes(Tabs) at the top instead of Panes. It's likely that you are both missing new stuff that has been added, running Update and Merge Menus in Scripts>Utilities will update your menus leaving custom actions in place (but at the end of the menu); it will however remove duplicate entries which may not be desirable (I lost the standard selection commands that I'd added to my Select menu, though it kept the custom scripts I'd added to the menu)

    Thanks Richard, I'll try that.

    I have noticed for some time now, that my Window menu is different to most other users, but I didn't worry about it, I just assumed it had been picked up from a previous install, and it still had everything. I will try the script.

    @banditcameraman

    Hooray - I'm glad you found it, my Panes > Tabs used to only have about three or four items in it, but now it has nearly all of them, I will try the script and report back.

    That seemed to work OK Richard, I now only have Panes (Tabs) at the top of the window, and everything appears to be there. I don't think I got anything extra, but at least it looks the way it should.

    @Richard

    Thank you so much for the information, Richard; I haven't added any commands, so I may not lose anything.

    @JimmyC

    Thank you so much, JimmyC; the morph works and is now rigged =) I'll wait for your update on the script before trying it :)

    My Scripts menu doesn't seem to have utilities :red:

    I found it by going to the Scripts > Utilities in the Content Library.

    See how you get on.

    EDIT:

    I had a Scripts menu as well, but when I ran the script, it has gone. I only had one item in it anyway, but you may need to add any scripts that you have there again.

    Ack! My script Menu disappeared but most of the scripts can be accessed as buttons.

    The script didn't complete because of an error and there's a really long log file. Should I file a ticket?

    :gulp:

    I reopened D|S and ran the script to replicate it...

    And it worked :bug: The Pane menus were merged. Property Hierarchy is where it's supposed to be now :)

    @Richard & @JimmyC

    Thank you muchly to you both :cheese:
