Hello @ all,
I'm having trouble loading some howto plugins, because they are not showing up in 3DS Max, without any errors.
I'm using VS 2019, Max SDK 2024, an evaluation version of 3ds Max 2024, Qt 5.15.1 , and compiled the projects 'ToolbarAPI' and 'MaxMenuDemo' successfully. I've copied the files 'CUITest.dlu', 'maxMenuDemo.dlu' to 'Plugins' folder and also put the .mui files into folder 'en-us'.
When starting 3DSM, I can see that 'Test of CUI Functionality' and 'My String' are deferred loaded (Plugin Manager), so I can load them manually without any errors.
But I cannot find the toolbar or the menu anywhere. I looked for the categories 'HowTo' and 'SDK Docs' in the toolbars tab and menus tab (Customize User Interface), but they are not there.
I've looked into the Max.log file, but nothing unusal showed up, at least for my eyes.
Please, can you give me any hints how to actually see the UI elements of those plugins? My guess is, that it has something to do with Qt but I need some kind of error message in order to get to a starting point.
