This is something I am able to do in Blender 2.04 but not in 2.23.
All I’d like to do is load objects from other Blender files (libraries). Everytime I try to that (Press Shift F1, and select a .blend file), there is no ‘Objects’ or ‘Scene’ folder that appears. In fact, it tells me that the .blend file I selected was not a library.
I’ve looked at the vrotvrot.com Blender support site and it really didn’t help.
So the question is, what do I need to do to load objects from other .blend files? or how do I fix this problem?
Just so everyone can following. Here is exactly what I’m doing…
Assume Blender is running and that I already have already loaded a .blend file.
Press SHIFT + F1 (file Selector pops up)
Scroll through list to a .blend file - which has a little yellow box beside it and the filename highlighted white - and middle click the filename.
(At this point, the file path appears as ‘/home/thisisatest.blend/’ and the file selected is ‘thisisatest.blend’. Note, there is no underlying structure that appears.)
Left click LOAD LIBRARY.
This pops up: “ERROR: Not a Library”
The steps I’ve just describe are exactly the same as those described on http://vrotvrot.com/support/browse.php
I’ve even tried this by changing the .blend1 file to a .blend and still it doesn’t work.
I hope this provides a better insight into my problem,
You’re using Linux, right? Append doesn’t work in the Linux version of Blender Creator 2.23.
You’ll either need to use an older version (2.22 is fine), or the Windows version.
