Utilities > Plug-in Manager

Allows you to load and unload plug-ins that add functionality to StudioTools.

Documentation for specific plug-ins is provided as text files, located in the ODS/OpenAlias/plugins/ in the directory named help under the specific category of plug-ins (DataTransfer, Gifts, Miscellaneous, Modeling, Paint, or Rendering). By organizing the plug-ins into separate subdirectories, the plug-ins are similarly organized in the Plug-in manager.

Add a new search area

Select Preferences > General Preferences .
In the Preferences window, open the General section.
In the Search path field, type the directory path to the plug-ins:

$YOURPATH/plug-ins/lib

Click the Save button at the bottom of the Preferences window.
To open the Plug-in Manager window, select Utilities > Plug-in Manager .
