Create Script-based Plug-ins
Scene Plug-ins and Container Plug-ins can be created, saved and used again in other Scenes or Containers. To do this create a plug-in of the created script.
Created Script-based plug-ins are saved as ‘.vsl’ files at <viz data folder>\Scriptplug-ins, and are available in these folders:
-
Container plug-ins > Script Plug-ins
