Cannot find Edit Particles button/editor - protomenace - 20-06-2020

According to http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/tutorials_4/attachments.html and http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/tutorials_4/particleediting.html there is supposed to be an "Edit Particles" button on my ObiRope component. But I can't find this anywhere. I'm using ObiRope 5.3.

Attaching images from my ObiRope inspector and my scene view. I don't see the button anywhere. What am I missing?

Hi,

You're looking at the docs for version 3.X/4.X, as evidenced by the url:
http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/tutorials_4/attachments.html

However, you're using version 5.3. By default, the docs for the latest version are the ones you get when you access the docs through our webpage or using the regular link:
http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/tutorials/

You need to manually click on the red warning banner at the top to be taken to the 4.X docs, so I don't know how you ended up on the old docs inadvertedly.

Large changes in workflow/architecture/API are usually introduced in major versions. 5.x was an almost complete rewrite and introduced many workflow improvements, so the 3.x/4.x docs no longer apply to it.

Ah that makes sense!

I think I probably ended up in the old docs from a google search. Thanks for the response.
