Blender Add-ons (MAC)

Question Modeling

I seem to be having trouble getting my Add-ons to work properly. I am YouTubing and googling everywhere for answers and I still can't get it right/working properly. Why? 

I've tried going to preferences and installing. I also have The Unarchiver.


The add-ons I am wanting to work with is RBC Add-on & Blenderkit Addon. 


Thank you for any answers/help.

    Can you describe the problems you are having? It is not working (proprerly) tells us nothing.

    The only thing I can think of, is that you should install them (in your Preferences) using the .zip file. Do not use the Unarchiver!

    I am with Spikey, 
    A little more clarity on the issue would be helpful.

    Do you install the add-on and it doesn't work properly?
    or when you go to the preferences to install the add-on, you can't find the file to install?
    or you find the file but it doesn't install?

    The file when located in the Blender file view, should have a thumb drive with 3 wavy lines symbol.

    Do not unzip the downloaded add-on, you can move the file to another location (I have a folder called Add_ons), but do not unzip.
    then go to the Blender preferences and install the complete unzipped zip file for the add-on.

    The only other thing I can think of, is maybe the add-on version is not compatible with the Blender version you are using.
    Check the documentation where you downloaded the add-on from.

    This is the issue I seem to be having with RBC-Add on. I am supposed to be able to move the car model(s) with my button control but the button controls is not popping up.

    I am trying to learn car simulations and destructions and for whatever reason I am keep seeing error pop up with RBC add-on. 

    When you go to the preferences to install the add-on, you can't find the file to install? or you can the file but it doesn't install

    This is the issue I am having with Blenderkit. I've downloaded but it is not popping up anywhere in the installation.

    You can try contacting the author of the addon, it sounds like it's a coding thing on their part.

  • Adrian Bellworthy replied

    The Blenderkit, is that the car rig pro "blenderkit"?
    If so, the supported Blender version stated on Blender Market is upto 3.2

    The RBC add-on looks like a python coding issue.

    For both of these I suggest you contact the seller.

    Yeah, most Addons have a 'Report a Bug' button.

    Don't know what's wrong with your BlenderKit...it installs without any problems on my system.
