I loaded it in notepad, had to edit it a lot because I could not just copy-paste it in and run it, to many indentation errors. Got that taken care of, then when I ran it, I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<blender_console>", line 2, in <module>
  File "<blender_console>", line 2, in register
NameError: name 'HelloWorldPanel' is not defined

To fact, there exists not such “HelloWorldPanel” . . . .

#3

i think i miss part of the code in another place then this code snippet

but i finally was able to get the other parts and make it work
was not easy but now seems ok

will continue to learn more about 2.9
i wish there was more example in API
that would help a lot

but thanks for feedback
happy bl

#4

I do not use the API very often at all, and I find it to be practically worthless without code examples.
I have tutorials that will teach you how to use the console rather than the API.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPssISxU9GZLU3qYbBPUgDNa3lSv2rSE6

or on my website:
https://www.archeuslore.com/blender/blender.html

You will probably be the same way after you see the power of using the console instead.

#5

thanks will have a look

i did find some other site with examples
and slowly learning more

happy cl

#6

You will learn enough from these tutorials to be a lot faster at coding, and probably a bit more dangerous for a while, but once it all comes together, you will be able to manage doing practically anything you want to do in Blender.

#7

i might need some new examples
for certain functions with Bmesh for doing new primitives

i did a few but some of the Bmesh methods are not simple to do!
i will try to contact you on your site

note:

it would be nice to have a thread here showing many examples for 2.9
so other people can come and learn from it

thanks for feedback
