Missing "Modes" menu in XSI 6 Mod Tool [Solved]

Post by epm01 »

I've just started with XSI 6 (Modtools) and I was following the "Basic Modeling in XSI" tut and I've found a little problem that I'm pretty sure I need to fixed to complete the model and understand XSI. Everyone's been telling me to go to Mode's and then change it to XSI Default Pro or something and I don't have a Mode's button on the top toolbar.

How do I get my mode button back?

Thanks ahead of time.

I've never been prompted to update it. How do I manually update it?

Edit: Nvm, i'm updating it now. I'll see if it works tomorrow. Thanks Ace.

I'm not sure, mine prompted for update automatically.
Go to File>Preferences>Custom>Mod Tool and make sure CheckForUpdates is checked then restart it to see if you get a prompt.
If you get the prompt to download the update and accept you might see the progress bar not moving, but it is actually downloading, just wait for it to finish.

Edit
Ok, I see you got it. :thumbs:
