I'm trying to re-make my Dawn autofit clone.I made sure my CMS is on but my Property Editor is still not showing up in my Windows/Tabs area.
Here is a screenshot of my windows/Tabs options. I hope it was ok that I tried to cover the figure as I didn't have her dressed as I was trying to save morphs. I will correct that if I need to -couldn't remember & forgot where the rules are.

    It's the pane named Property Hierarchy. They changed the name with this version.

    It's also in the Parameters pane itself. If you click on the triangle thing, there's an option called Edit Mode. That allows you to edit the parameters more directly, the way you used to do in the Property editor. (See attached for location.)

    Once you're inside Edit mode, the icons on top of the sliders change, and you get letters to the left of the sliders (which shrink a bit) indicating P for Property or sometimes G for group or V for ... Value, I guess? No idea on that one. Anyway, you right-click on a slider (or select a group of sliders with either Ctrl-Click or Shift-Click, and then right-click) for the available options to appear.

    In some ways it's easier, but it's a drastic change in organization that's hard to find.

    The Property Hierarchy Pane and the Edit Mode of the Parameters Pane are different. Together they provide the same functionality as the Property Editor, but it runs much faster. The Property Hierarchy Pane is essentially everything from the left hand side of the Property Editor Pane and the Edit Mode of the Parameters Pane is the right hand side. You can drag and drop properties between the Property Hierarchy Pane and the Parameters Pane.

    **Edit** Looks like I got them confused. The Edit Mode of the Parameters Pane functions like the left hand side of the Property Editor Pane, and the Property Hierarchy Pane functions like the right hand side of the Property Editor Pane.

    How do we create MCMs in this layout? Previous it was dragging from left pane to right pane of Property Editor.

    You would drag from the Parameters Pane Edit mode to the Property Hierarchy Pane.

    Oh that edit mode makes it so much easier to re-categorize morphs. Just had to set a ton to hidden that didn't have it flagged by default.

    I'm not sure if this was possible before, as I've never used the previous property editor window, but man having it on the parameters pane to easily search and batch edit is handy.
