actuially i think you just have to click on fill is that right i still have to load the script in every time i use the library. any way to get it in blender scripts thanks again

At this time, the library is listed in the help menu. Just put the library.py in the scripts folder.

i got the scipt for the newest version but even with a short name it says name is to long and where is my script file i can’t find it

  1. Is it the scripts name that it says is too long?

  2. What error were you getting?

  3. Do you have the right script (version 1.3.1) from http://blender-stuff.byethost32.com/?

  4. Are you installing/utilizing it correctly? From http://blender-stuff.byethost32.com/library.html:

Just place the script in your Blender scripts folder [.blender\scripts]. It registers itself in the Object Scripts menu. The best way to run it is to split a Space side by side, switch it to Scripts and choose Blender Library from SCRIPTS -> OBJECT in the space header.
The first time you run it, it will ask you to choose a folder to store library content. Choose a folder and the library directory will be created there. If you choose C:\ for example, library will be C:\BlenderLib
If you loose your settings or want to reuse an existing library in other blender installation, just choose the existing library folder in the previous step and the script will recognize it, gainning you access to all your previous items.

what is the right way to save scripts after you open them in the window

7

I’m not following, can you be more specific?

i click on the link to open the library script. How do i get that script in the window into my script folder i have been copying and pasting then saving it in a py text program.

I think I’m getting it, and if I’m not tell me and we can work it out. Lets see if this helps (and maybe others can tell me the easy way to do it)… the first three steps you are doing I think.

  1. Click here: http://blender-stuff.byethost32.com/scripts/blender_library.py
  2. When in the window, select all (Ctrl+A)
  3. Then Ctrl+C to copy
  4. Open notepad, and paste (Ctrl+V) into it.
  5. File>Save As library.py (not *.txt) to the C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender.blender\scripts folder (this is where mine is in Windows - yours might be elsewhere, but if you are a windows user I doubt it).

Quick side questions: 1) Do you have veiw all extensions turned on in windows?, 2) Do you have python installed on your computer and your python path set (http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7412)
