Code: Select all

C:\Softimage\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5\Addons\xsizetools-master

and there is another folder called

C:\Users\Gilbert\Autodesk\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5

edit: and in the 2nd folder there is no addon folder

That would be the problem entirely (most likely) - not to mention a problem that really shouldn't be a problem in the first place considering the fact that I stated, like, 4 times previously that the XSIZETools folder needs to go in C:\Users\%userpath%\Autodesk\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5. :V But oh well, now you know and that's what matters.

this is how the second folder looks like

and why are there two folders
edit: also where do i install Python and pywin32-217.win32-py2.6 do i leave it at default

Ah. You can probably just create a new folder called "Addons" and stick the XSIZETools folder in there.

Yes. Leaving at default should work.

is this how it should look like?

No. Like I said,

C:\Softimage\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5\ is not the directory you should be worrying about. You need to create a folder called "Addons" in C:\Users\Gilbert\Autodesk\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5 and place the XSIZETools folder inside of it.

is there supposed to be two folders?

You're overcomplicating this, follow the instruction provided by ANDE and others that have been trying to help you in this thread.


1. Download and install Softimage Mod Tool 7.5

2. Download and install the version of Python and PyWin32 extensions recommended by ANDE

3. Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86), or (x64) if x86 didn't work

4. Launch Softimage Mod Tool 7.5 to ensure your "users" folder is created, then exit Mod Tool 7.5

5. By default there will be no "addons" folder because there are none installed, create a folder named "addons" here:
C:\users\Gilbert\Autodesk\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5\
the path would look like this:
C:\users\Gilbert\Autodesk\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5\addons

6. Download xsizetools-master.zip and unzip it to your new "addons" folder.
Make sure there is not another "xsizetools-master" folder inside the first one
The path would look like this:
C:\users\Gilbert\Autodesk\Softimage_Mod_Tool_7.5\addons\xsizetools-master

7. Launch Softimage Mod Tool 7.5 and there should be a new category named "ZE Tools" on the menu bar.

is it ok if I delete every folder and re install it?

edit: should I download python before lanuching it

You should use the uninstall functions from the programs. Than you go to your C:\User\Username/ folder and delete all Autodesk, softimage, xsi,... folder. After that you can start with Ace's install steps.

i tried to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package but it said my computer had a newer version on it already
edit: this time the pywin worked
i opened softimage and this popped up

Didn't you already have Mod Tool installed and working?

You could have left that as it was. I would reinstall it now though, as it seems something has gone wrong. Your viewports aren't even drawn.

i did re install it and that pops out

Uninstall Mod Tool
Delete your "users" folder
Install Mod Tool
Pick up from step 4

Yaaaaaaay it works thanks everyone thank u so much Excessive smilies removed; please limit to three per post and/or use meaningfully. -Staff
edit: so i made a simple object and i tried to export and this happened look at the red line at the bottom

1. Your path is invalid. Use the ... button to browse to the directory. It should be something like C:\Users\username\Desktop\filename.msh
2. Just select the parent null. not all objects.
