The Add-ons section lets you manage secondary scripts, called „Add-ons“ that extends Blender’s functionality. In this section you can search, install, enable and disable Add-ons.

Finding Add-ons

Iskanje

Blender comes with some pre-installed Add-ons already, ready to be enabled. But you can also add your own, or any interesting ones you find on the web.

Supported Level

Blenderjevi dodatki so razdeljeni v dve skupini, glede na to, kdo jih napiše/podpira:

  • Official: Dodatki, ki jih napišejo razvijalci Blenderja.

  • Community: Dodatki, ki jih napišejo člani Blenderjeve skupnosti.

Enabled Add-ons Only

Category

Dodatki so razdeljeni v kategorije, glede na to, katerim področjem Blenderja so namenjeni.

Installing Add-ons

There are hundreds of add-ons that are not distributed with Blender and are developed by others. To add them to the list of other add-ons, they must be installed into Blender.

To install these, use the Install… button and use the File Browser to select the .zip or .py add-on file.

Now the add-on will be installed, however not automatically enabled. The search field will be set to the add-on’s name (to avoid having to look for it), Enable the add-on by checking the enable checkbox.

Refresh

Scans the Add-on Directory for new add-ons.

Nasvet

Pot do dodatkov po meri

You can also create a personal directory containing new add-ons and configure your files path in the File Paths section of the Preferences. To create a personal script directory:

  1. Ustvarite prazni direktorij na kraju po vaši izbiri (npr. moje_skripte).

  2. V ta direktorij dodajte poddirektorij z imenom addons (nujno se mora imenovati tako - le tako ga bo Blender prepoznal).

  3. Open the File Paths section of the Preferences.

  4. Set the Scripts file path to point to your script directory (e.g. my_scripts).

  5. Save the preferences and restart Blender for it to recognize the new add-on location.

Now when you install add-ons you can select the Target Path when installing 3rd party scripts. Blender will copy newly installed add-ons under the directory selected in your Preferences.

Enabling & Disabling Add-ons

To enable or disable an add-on check or uncheck the box to the right of the add-ons shown in the figure below.

Omogočanje dodatka.

The add-on functionality should be immediately available.

Opomba

Add-ons that activate or change multiple hotkeys have a special system of activation. For example, with the 3D Viewport Pie Menus add-on for each menu there is a selection box to activate the menu and its hotkey.

Nasvet

If the Add-on does not activate when enabled, check the Console window for any errors that may have occurred.

Informacije o dodatku

Če kliknete puščico na levi strani dodatka, se vam prikaže več informacij, recimo lokacija dodatka, njegov opis in povezava do dokumentacije. Tu se nahaja gumb, s pomočjo katerega lahko prijavite napako posebej za ta dodatek.

Nastavitve dodatkov

Some add-ons may have their own preferences which can be found in the Preferences section of the add-on information box.

Some add-ons use this section for example to enable/disable certain functions of the add-on. Sometimes these might even all default to off. So it is important to check if the enabled add-on has any particular preferences.
