Is there a way to check if an object exists in 2.81?

I’d like to check if an object exists, otherwise add a cube & name that object “Box”

I tried this, but it didn’t seem to work:

            
if bpy.data.objects["Box"] == 'True':
    pass
else:
    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(size=2)
    ob = bpy.context.active_object
                
    ob.name = "Box"
2

Hey Alberto, I’ve been using this method:

found = 'Primitives' in bpy.data.objects
if found == 1:
    obj = bpy.data.objects['Primitives']

so i guess in your case just set found == 0 and make your box

This is how I’d do it.

if "Box" in bpy.data.objects:
    pass
else:
    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(size=2)
    ob = bpy.context.active_object                
    ob.name = "Box"
