Convert maxscript to VMS

[Anonymous]

Is there a way of converting a maxscript rollout into VMS format?

Essentially I want to modify an existing script that has an existing UI. I'll remove some of the functionality of the script and some of the UI and then tidy it up. This would be easy if I could just move some of the elements around in the visual Maxscript editor rather than taking wild guesses at coordinates for text labels, buttons etc.

I've looked at this post and tried to used tools> edit rollout thinking that it would edit the existing rollout in the selected script, but it just brings up a blank 162 x 300 dialogue box in the VMS editor.

Works fine here - but you have to "tell" VMS which rollout to edit (there could be more than 1) by making sure the cursor is somewhere within the rollout definition before using Edit Rollout.

Highlighted maxscript text cursor NOT mouse cursor - got it!  Had to cut and paste the rollout into a new script in order to get it to work for one script, but  I can edit it quickly now. Thanks.
