mbdyn-blender not showing in addons list #1

Closed timgow closed 9 years ago

timgow commented 9 years ago

Hello, I've downloaded the .zip file in Ubuntu 14.04 and performed file/properties/addons/'install from file' within Blender 2.75a. I've refreshed the addons list but can't find 'mbdyn-blender' in the 'User' list and I've read through the 'All' list without recognising an addon entry to select. I selected the mbdyn-blender-master.zip file 'install from file', I believe this is appropriate as other addons use the .zip file. Please let me know what I should see when this addon is successfully installed. Kind regards, Tim

your procedure seems fine

Please let me know what I should see when this addon is successfully installed.

I tested on my computer and have the same issue

Kind regards, Tim

Hello Tim and Louis,

I'm sorry, the repository needed some cleaning and I forgot of that lately.

Now it should be OK and I've updated the README file as to point out the correct installation procedure: you should extract the .zip file and then install the add-on by using the "Install from file" button in the User Preferences tab, pointing to the MBDynImport.py file.

The add-on will show under the "Animation" tab in the list.

Let me know if everything is okay now. Thanks for the feedback. Andrea

Andrea, Thank you for the installation procedure; I now have the 'MBDyn Motion Path' tab. I've imported the joint_break.mov example file, I get the "MBDyn elements imported successfully" message, but I don't see any elements on-screen. The terminal output for blender is as follows:

Please let me know whether I'm missing a step that allows me to visualise the example MBDyn results or whether there are no elements to see due to none being imported.

Kind regards, Tim

Hi Tim,

the import elements button is largely a placeholder right now: it can load and display correctly only rod elements. If you tell me which elements you'll like to visualize, I'll see if I can find the time to implement their support in the next few days and let you test it and give feedback.

Please notice that the elements that the add-on finds in the .log file are listed under the 'Scene' tab in the Properties Panel of Blender, and that only supported elements are listed.

Cheers, Andrea

Andrea, I'll see if I can work with rod elements for the time being, I'll let you know if can't progress without other elements. Many thanks for your help. Tim
