Im trying to figure out why this CollectionProperty which has a PropertyGroup for a custom UI list, doesnt want to load from from blender startup. Ive found this code and works fine when a scene i open and used in text area to register it. All works and it shows up. import bpyimport os coll_data…

Thanks for the reply, I should have marked this solved. I got it solved by placing some of the properties in the unit file and register them there. It works but isn’t very clean. I still need to make it look all cleaner.

Anytime. :slight_smile: Keep up the good work and good luck with your Addon

Thanks i should dive into this more. I did manage to combine to custom UI items into one panel now. Part i borrowed from amaranth addon which check for missing textures. The other one i made my self which check for linked materials, this is an option the render engine has im using. I didnt started…

Heh, I know that feeling :smirk: . Same with me. Currently I aim to teach Blender at my university, but I’m being asked to make it as CAD-esque as possible. :-/ Well, I’m looking forward to your addon. :wink:

Okay, you need to teach Blender and do in a CAD manner… how should i interpret that? I got this thing work now, but i still need to clean the bottom part in the addon. Also i thinking of making it look cleaner in the code. Its sort of scattered all over the place now. Not really proper method. Iv…

Sounds good so far. Well, the prof whom I work for asked me to start from something the students might know, like autoCAD and to use as much of CAD-like modelling as I can, in order to “make their first steps with Blender easier”. I tried to explain how 3d-modeling is different to CAD, but he’s fix…

Oofff no not really, i dont know CAD. I know there are CAD importers and there is a special build of blender whih uses a complete different method of modeling. Its a special build which is build around using units and having correct input. I just tried remembering the name but cant come up with. Ill…

PS is perhaps a useful article about the measurment method in Blender. https://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/blender/metric-imperial-units.php PS i believe with the coming of 2.8 they have fixed this now. I thought i read this somewhere a while back. PS not sure when you need to start with this. Beca…

Ow i think you hit the jackpot, i just said something about the special build there is for blender. After grinding my memory i remembered its name “Mechanical Blender”. Guess what its main slogan or quote is… mechanical Blender Blender for CAD Environments Here’s the link perhaps it helps, remember…

Hey rombout. Sorry for the late answer. First off: Thanks :slight_smile: Now answering, in your order: Yes, the importers/exporters would be interesting, as well as modelling addons or whatever you can dig up. No, that’s correct. AutoCAD uses a (more or less random) base size and a global scale…

Off i cant help you with that build. So that means its not being developped no more perhaps. It was quite booming i thought a while back. But what function are you talking about which they took out? PS but if CAD doesnt use a measurement, how do people from say USA and EUROPE swap files? If one u…
