附加元件¶
The Add-ons section lets you manage secondary scripts, called “Add-ons” that extends Blender's functionality. Most of the time you can get add-ons as part of the Extensions system.
In this section you can search, install, enable and disable Add-ons.
Tip
If the Add-on does not activate when enabled, check the Console window for any errors that may have occurred.
Filtering Add-ons¶
- Search Add-ons
Blender comes with some preinstalled Add-ons already, ready to be enabled. But you can also add your own, or any interesting ones you find on the web.
- Enabled Add-ons Only
Shows only enabled add-ons for the current Category.
- Add-on Tags
Add-ons are assigned categories by what areas of Blender they affect.
Add-on Settings¶
- Refresh Local
Scan extension & legacy add-ons for changes to modules & meta-data (similar to restarting). Any issues are reported as warnings.
- Install from Disk
Install an extension from a
.zip
package. This is installed to a Local Repository and no updates will be available.This can also be used to install legacy Add-ons, for more information see: Installing Legacy Add-ons.
Enabling & Disabling Add-ons¶
To enable or disable an add-on check or uncheck the box to the right of the add-ons.
The add-on functionality should be immediately available.
Add-on Information¶
You can click the arrow at the left of the add-on box to see more information, such as its location, a description and a link to the documentation. Here you can also find a button to report a bug specific of this add-on.
Add-on Preferences¶
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.
Installing Legacy Add-ons¶
To install legacy add-ons, click the Install from Disk menu item and select the add-on's
.py
file (if it has only one such file) or its .zip
file.
The add-on will not be automatically enabled after installation; click the checkbox to do that.
- Refresh
Scans the Add-on Directory for new add-ons.
Tip
While this screen doesn't allow installing a folder-based addon with loose .py
files,
you can still do so by adding it as a Script Directory:
Create an empty directory in a location of your choice (e.g.
my_scripts
).Add a subdirectory under
my_scripts
calledaddons
(it must have this name for Blender to recognize it).Place your addon folder inside this
addons
folder.Open the File Paths section of the Preferences.
Add a Script Directories entry pointing to your script folder (e.g.
my_scripts
).Save the preferences and restart Blender for it to recognize the new add-on location.
The add-ons in this folder will automatically become available; all you need to do is enable them.
