[Solved] Pick and Paste Tool does not show up

[awhawkins]

The Pick and Paste Tool does not show up in the Sculpt Room on my laptop.  It does show up on my desktop computer. I have version 2023.19 on both machines. I have reset to default settings, selected show all tools in the section and did a uninstall and reinstall all to no avail.  Has anyone else had this problem?

Sorry I am lost about this issue.

Wait for next version, the release of 2023.20 will be soon.

I figured it out.  I unstalled the 3dcoat and deleted all the 3DCoat folders/files in C:\Users\username\Documents.  I noticed there was 3DCoat version 4 folder in that directory.  After I deleted it. I reinstalled 3DCoat2023.16 and updated it to 2023.19. This fixed the issue.  I think the 3DCoat version 4 folder had some files that was interferring with the current version.

this should be on the head banner of the 3dcoat forum.

Sorry for digging this up. So I found out what's actually going on there in case someone wants to know/fix it.

When you bring over settings from old versions and have customized your rooms before, the file toolset.cpp in Documents\3DCoat\UserPrefs\Rooms\CustomRooms\Voxels\ doesn't get merged/updated.

Comparison between new toolset.cpp (left) and my old toolset.cpp (right):

In the same way, some other tools might also be missing depending on how old your old version is.

To fix it without deleting the whole folder and losing your old customizations, you can merge it yourself (copying missing lines using WinMerge or something). It is a pain though and I hope it gets fixed/automated by 3DCoat upon installing.

(New version's toolset.cpp can be found inside 3DCoat install path Program Files\3DCoat-[version]\UserPrefs\Rooms\Default\Voxels\)

Hope this is helpful.

I am having a similar problem with latest update 2024.07 where the new Multiple Objects Tools does not show up. If I am understanding your solution correctly, this is if I brought in custom room from a previous room.  This is not the case with on my desktop where I am experiencing this problem.  My laptop updated perfectly but my desktop is another story.

In 08 this problem solved principally:

 Fixed problem when new tools (sometimes) does not appear when you install the update. Of course, if you created own custom room, you need to add new tools there manually (looking at the script).
