Thinking Particles Groups Rollout is missing?

Hello again friends, I am still a total noob so please excuse the ignorance, and many thanks in advance.

I have TP6 installed. I would like to convert some TP in my scene to PRT, but my Primary Floater has no Thinking Particles Groups Rollout.

On this page http://www.thinkboxsoftware.com/krak-thinking-part-groups/ it says:

Can anybody tell me how to fix this? Do I need to do some reinstalling? Thanks very much in advance.

The Thinking Particles rollout used to be part of the Krakatoa GUI in the early days, but was later moved to the dedicated “Krakatoa Explorers” floater together with all other similar particle source management tools.

At the top of the page you linked to, it says

thinkboxsoftware.com/krak-explorers-floater/

You can open the Explorers floater either by

  • Clicking on the “Explorers” button at the bottom of the Main Controls rollout in the Krakatoa GUI,
  • Selecting “Open the Krakatoa Explorers floater…” menu item in the Krakatoa menu, or
  • Pressing the EX icon from the Krakatoa toolbar (if you customized one)

However I must admit that the way it is documented is quite confusing, and the documentation should be updated to reflect Krakatoa MX 2.x as nobody cares what it looked like in 1.x anyway. So please accept my apologies for the inconvenience!

Bobo, once again I thank you for your kind help.

No need to apologize for the manual, I think it was more about me being a noob.

“I’ll be back”, thank you
