speedcut tool UI not openning

[mihirsbcc]

1. Just installed BT tool for 22. Speed cut tool is not opening the UI. No error in script editor. Script editor reads

"select -r pCube1 ;
python "from bt_speedCut import *";python "bt_speedCutUI()";

2. I have the older PY script which works with 2020 but not with 2022. .... PY 3?

I have the same problem. Just installed the Maya Bonus Tools 2022. Speed Cut loaded once and then disappeared. Never loaded again even after reinstalling. Can't find any solution on this.

The scroll bar command is missing. this is the fix

Go
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\MayaBonusTools-2018-2022\Contents\python-2022

opening the bt_speedCut.py



## find this line

jwSpeedCutWin = mc.window("jwSpeedCutWin",title = "speedCut 1.58",w = 300,h
= 600, mxb = False, s = 1 ,bgc = [0.2, 0.2, 0.2 ])



## add line below

mc.scrollLayout()

Thank you for the reply. I did add that line but the tool still does not load. 😕

It did work for me.Did you save that file?

You need to have admin power. Copy that script file to a temporary place.
Open that in notepad and add that line,

Now when you save that file make sure you are saving ..all files and in the
name field add the .py . It should read name.PY.
Now go to the place where the original file, rename it to old. Then drop
the new py file.

It should work.

Thank you, I will try that. 🙂

Same situation for me. Tried the fix and it does not work. Followed the instructions and it doesn't do anything. The window will not reappear. Is there any other fix?

[dcarrasquillo]

Still, the same with me. I re did the whole script process and nothing.

[mihirsbcc]

I talked to the guy who wrote that script. That is the solution he provided
me. It's not an Autodesk product. He managed to put his script in the Bonus
tool.

For me the above solution didn't work.

A workaround to get the SpeedCut UI back:

• Close Maya
• Go to : "C:\Users\yourUserName\Documents\maya\2022\prefs
• Open "windowPrefs.mel" with a text editing program.
• Delete the line with "bt_SpeedCutWin" and save the file.
• ReOpen Maya
• Open SpeedCut and close a couple of the sub-tabs that you don't use as much before you try to resize the window.

From my limited experience with the tool, the UI disappears when you try to resize the window with all the tabs open. Don't do that. Or don't resize the window at all.

Building on this, you'll notice on this line, where it says

windowPref -topLeftCorner 250 250 -widthHeight 320 770 -maximized false -parentMain true bt_SpeedCutWin;

it has two values after "-topLeftCorner." Following your directions, I noticed my first value was at 5000, and I realized that these must be screen coordinates in pixels.

I set them to 250 and 250, saved the file, and reset Maya. The window then began to appear at those coordinates no problem.

No need to delete the line. I assume this, upon resetting the program, rewrites the line to its default into the file, but I wanted to add insight as to why the problem was taking place. 

So thank you for your help!!
