Default Re: AC3D 8.0.80 / X-Plane 3.3.0b3 - DataRef and Commands

I've attached a screen shot of what I am seeing with this file. In this example, I imported an obj file from Sketchup. AC3D recognizes the dataref I made with Sketchup but does not allow me to change it. The dataref imported is "sim/time/total_running_time_sec".

I then tried to make an animation from scratch just to see if there was a problem with the Sketchup import, but AC3D still will not show a drop down box for the datarefs.
Ah, I see what you mean. You need to open the X-Plane Object Properties Window first and select the rotation or translation object (in object select mode).
