Common Problems
Please read the below guidelines before install
- Do not unzip the addon zip file when you install it, otherwise blender will not install it correctly and cause errors.
- If you installed the unzipped files, you should now uninstall the addon and remove them. Re-install it again (select the zip file during install)
- When you are modeling in Blender, do not Scale object in “Object mode”, otherwise it will confuse blender’s mesh data for the addons. Please Scale things in “Edit mode” only. (select all then S key)
