Re: Rev 3.0 problems

Peter, You might want to try a nifty tool I've worked on to help make 3.0's script editor work better for me. altXray is a plugin for Rev 3.0. It works best with altPlugin Toolbar. http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/altPluginCover/About.htm It helps Rev in a number of ways: Outside Script Editor
