Ah, problem solved.  I got the layout the way I want plus I can use the Material Override and Material Definition like I'm used to doing.  It was the Resource List that I needed to get in the layout.  I opened that earlier but didn't understand what I was looking at since it only showed one at a time.  Okay, it all is working so far, version 64, like I'm used to.  I don't use the Neighborhood feature but I did open it to see if it gave me any errors like some have been posting.  I didn't get any errors with it.  Sorry to have troubled you, Inge.

Hedgekat, is that you???  Haven't heard from you for the longest time at the usual places I hang out--Melynda's Playhouse which kinda used to be SA.

Anyway, I had rather the same problem, too, in getting the layout how I wanted.  The Plugin View and the Object Viewer kept disappearing and I couldn't get it to come back so I shut SimPe down and reopened it several times.  The resource tree still won't split up like I want it.  I mean the Resource Tree opens up but I just want the 3 things that branch off that--the TXTR, Material Override and the Material Definition--to be on my layout.  Still haven't gotten it.

Yep, I actually checked in the program to make sure all the plugins were enabled.

It's strange some things in a program will work for some people and not for others, isn't it.

Jo H.

Inge, all of the plugins are enabled.  I didn't change a anything in SimPe except to Lock the Toolbar after I got the layout the way I like it.

Thank you so much for working on the new edition of SimPe.  I downloaded 64 and have been working with it.  I seem to be able to create recolors okay.  I only made one large quilt. 

I have come across one thing.  I use the Material Override a lot to preview what I've made and with this new version I couldn't get it to open up in the Plugin View part.  The TXTR file showed up in the Plugin View but not the Material Override or the Material Definition.  This causes quite a problem if I want to make a shaped rug using Echo's rug mesh.  I can't change the Blend Mode since I can't open the Material Definition.

When I am in the process of of making a new object the TXTR file is visible in the Plugin View but if I just Open an new file the Plugin View won't show.
