Have made a custom copy of the toolbar "Main Shelf".
The files and folders in the zip comes to your...
C:\Users\USERNAME\Autodesk\Softimage_WhatEver\Application\toolbars
...folder.

Toolbar.zip

If you have a modyfied toolbar or you want to place the button on an other toolbar, you must do some things.

• Extract only the bitmaps folder/file from the zip to the folder above.
• Rightclick on the toolbar where you want the button and choose "Customize Toolbar"
• Select in the new window the group "Toolbar Widges".
• Drag and drop the "Script Button" to the right place.
• In the "Customize Button" window, change the "User Button Size" from width and height to 36.
• In the "Button Label" and the "Tooltip" you can write what you want.
• Change the "Bitmap" to "OctaneLogo" without the brackets.
• Change the "Script Language" to VBScript.
• Copy and paste the following code in the "Script Commands" window.
  

  Code: Select all

  exists = false
set oProps = ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root.Properties
for each oProp in oProps
   if oProp.Name = "Octane_exporter" then exists = true
next

if exists then
   inspect
else
   gen
end if

function inspect
   InspectObj "Octane_exporter"
end function

function gen
   SIAddProp "Octane_exporter", "Scene_Root", siDefaultPropagation, "Octane_exporter"
   inspect
end function

• Press OK
• The button is now in the toolbar, but the position isn´t where you want.
  You can now simple drag the button to the right position.
• After that, close all windows.
• Choose Yes to save the changes in the toolbar.

Hope that works
Have fun...
