I understand that it probably is standard growing pains between versions, so learning scripting should probably keep me working in blender 4.5. I was noticing a lot of commands in the bpy.ops line of commands like bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_ico_sphere_add() and bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_plane_add() and even things like editing a material's diffuse_color was returning "cannot modify blend data in this state (drawing/rendering)" All my attempts to be in the correct state have failed on those operations, when running the script in the text editor window. I haven't seen any recent chatter on this case after the version's release. So I was wondering, is there was any way to appease the error with a workflow change?

Hey team, Due to a few ASAP items that require my immediate attention, I need to be fully focused this week. Therefore, I will have to postpone our Coffee Hangout until next week. I apologize for the last minute update. I'm really looking forward to connecting with you all and catching up then!

Hi there! Just wanna learn how to use Python to avoid a lot of repeating tasks in mockups for factory design, like handrails, stairs, and so on. I'm 57 years old, learned programming 40 years ago, and I'm struggling with Python syntax based on my admittedly outdated knowledge ...

I finally got my add-on working and packaged; I successfully installed it on another computer. It was a tricky first add-on, and I really appreciate the help I've received here. Huge thanks to @Victor Stepanov! I'll put it up on Github and make it available on Gumroad and Superhive for anyone who wants it off the shelf.

I've been using Blender's built-in text editor to write my addon, and I finally decided to use VS Code. The addon works fine in Blender, but it won't run from VS Code. I'm not sure if it's VS Code or one of the extensions, but it's tripping on this line: from bpy_extras.io_utils import ImportHelper Exception has occurred: ImportError - cannot import name 'ImportHelper' from 'bpy_extras.io_utils' (unknown location) File "/home/gtada/Documents/blender/scripting/iges_import/operator_file_import_iges_002.py", line 75, in <module> from bpy_extras.io_utils import ImportHelper ImportError: cannot import name 'ImportHelper' from 'bpy_extras.io_utils' (unknown location) If anybody has an idea I'd love to hear it. I used the Operator File Import template which includes this module and function.
