  • Opening starters
    • Opening starter prompts page
    • Simplified dogear prompts
    • Added functionality to dog-ear partitions per opening

    • View and manipulate driver logic
  • Object context UI panel
    • Prompts
    • Drivers
    • Material Pointers
  • Assembly creation process through assembly and object context menus

Some of what is ready for testing might not be relevant to some.

The following is a list of known issues and items that are not ready for testing:

-

Drag and drop insert placement (Closet Library - Inserts: issue #13) - Many of the inserts use their own custom drop operator or the insert drop operator. The way in which they were placed into openings and connected to prompts/drivers of other assemblies now causes multiple cyclical dependency errors in Blender 2.9.

Closet carcass backing (Fix Closet Carcass Backing: issue #16) - Same cyclical dependency errors as above.

XML Export - This depends on inserts being drawn into products/Opening Starters in order to test.

That means you currently don't have access to the repository. I am making sure that @RyanMDev gives everyone access. I will let you know when that happens.

TedCC1209 commented 3 years ago

@ClassyTeddy I had some questions about the directions (this will make sense to everyone one else once they have access):

  1. Download SNaP-Blender-2.90.1.zip from Release - Version 2.0 Beta.
  2. Extract to desired location
  3. Create new folder named scripts.
  4. Inside scripts folder, create new folder named addons.
  5. Clone or move SNaP-2.0 repository into the addons folder.
  6. Set 'Scripts' path in preferences to the point to the scripts folder that was just created.
  7. Restart SNaP.

For Number 3, where am I putting the new folder named scripts? Just right in the first main folder I just downloaded and extracted?

SNaP 2 0

Then I am thinking I will need further direction with number 6 as well as to where I am setting that path within preferences.

Thanks,

Ted

You can put the folder named scripts anywhere you want. You just need to be able to find it again later in step 6.

Then I am thinking I will need further direction with number 6 as well as to where I am setting that path within preferences.

So, to set the path for where Blender needs to find the scripts folder by opening Blender, clicking on the Edit Button found in the top left of the program, opening the Preferences, opening the File Path tab, then click on the little folder icon next to the Scripts box, and then find and select the scripts folder that you just created. SNaP 2 0 Scripts Example

The above that you just sent is correct.

Let me know if that needs more clarification.

ClassyTeddy commented 3 years ago

The above that you just sent is correct.

This is actually not correct, I just tried it myself. You need to just put the snap folder found inside the SNaP-2.0 repository. It should be one of the first folders that you find when you open the SNaP-2.0 folder.

TedCC1209 commented 3 years ago

This is how it looks after I cloned from GitHub--are you saying I need to cut the highlighted snap folder and move it to the addons folder? Will this mess with syncing with GitHub?

SNaP 2 0

Yes you need to do that. As I understand it, it won't be synced with GitHub if you use the testing environment instructions. It will be as if you are an end user who just downloaded the entire program. @RyanMDev, correct me if I am wrong on this.

TedCC1209 commented 3 years ago

Looks like moving the snap folder to the addons folder rather than being in the SNaP-2.0 folder worked, thanks!

TylerStandage commented 3 years ago

Just to be clear Ted, you just moved the 'snap' folder up into the addons folder like I've done below, correct?

Yes:

SNaP 2 0

TylerStandage commented 3 years ago

After updating the SNaP defaults, I can no longer see the project manager/room builder/etc. menus. They were there the first time I opened SNaP, but after the defaults loaded they went away.

ClassyTeddy commented 3 years ago

This just occurred to me. Go back into preferences and select the scripts file path again like you did in step 6

TylerStandage commented 3 years ago

That worked, thanks!

It will, after moving the snap folder cloned from GitHub you can then go back into GitHub desktop and relocate the repository. In order for this to work, you will also need to copy over the .git folder with it as well, this is what tells GitHub Desktop that this is a git repository. With this set up correctly, the GitHub repo functionality stays intact, allowing access to the most recent changes.

sarahhightower commented 3 years ago

Hi. I've cloned the snap folder to the noted location and made sure it's linked to the scripts folder in SNaP. As I look at this though, I'm not seeing any "Classy Closets" functions so I think I missed a step somewhere? Could it be that I can't find the ".git" folder in Github as noted by Ryan in his last message?

ClassyTeddy commented 3 years ago

No, that is not the problem @sarahhightower. Your script path isn't correct. The path for the script folder needs to be C:\Users\shightower\De...0.1\scripts not C:\Users\shightower\De...0.1\scripts\add ons\snap\.

Also, the addons folder needs to be one word I believe.

sarahhightower commented 3 years ago

That worked! Final questions (I hope!).

My SNaP doesn't have the same color scheme as Tyler's. Is that something I should be concerned about or is that something I can just change? Also, @RyanMDev can you give me a bit more detail on copying over the .git file? I'm not sure how you got to the first prompt you show in your message. Thank you.

sarahhightower commented 3 years ago

Nevermind, @RyanMDev. I think I figured it out. You just made a folder named .git and then copied the Github SNaP 2.0 file in it, correct?

ClassyTeddy commented 3 years ago

@sarahhightower In order to get the right color scheme, you need to Load SNaP Defaults, and when you do that, you will have to set the script path again.

RyanMDev commented 3 years ago

The .git folder is created by the GitHub app when you clone or create a repository. It only affects the GitHub app and not anything in SNaP.

You only need to move this file if you see this message in the GitHub app:

reloc_snap

This would happen if you cloned the repository first and then manually moved it in the file explorer to the new scripts/addons folder. If you do not move the .git folder along with it you will not be able to locate and restore it in the GitHub app.

I've cloned the snap folder to the noted location

It sounds like you have created the scripts/addons folder first and then cloned the SNaP-2.0 repo directly into that folder. In this case, which would be the preferred way to do it, the .git folder will already be in place.

This is just to make sure you still have access to sync the newest repo changes in Github.

TylerStandage commented 3 years ago

Hi everyone,

I'm reviving this thread to ensure we all have the right steps for getting 2.0 ready for testing. I've also added a screen shot to show where my folders are located after following the steps. I've placed my 2.0 on the desktop, but you can place it where makes for you on your computer. Most important is that you do all of the steps and set the scripts path correctly. The back and forth in this thread is helpful, but let me know if you have questions!

  1. Download SNaP-Blender-2.90.1.zip from Release - Version 2.0 Beta.
  2. Extract to desired location.
  3. Create new folder named scripts.
  4. Inside scripts folder, create new folder named addons.
  5. Clone or move SNaP-2.0 repository into the addons folder.
  6. Set 'Scripts' path in preferences to the point to the scripts folder that was just created.
  7. Restart SNaP.
