hello guys
does anyone experience problems with append in 2.83?
i made a nodesetup, and grouped that .
opened the other file , pressed append , selected the node but he does nothing
HI Yukino.
What kind of node setup was it?
Material, World, Texture, Animation Node Tree?
When you append data to your file, it will add the data but it does not apply it to anything. So you will still have to do that manually for whatever you want it to apply to.
Also make sure that you are using the correct version. If the name already exists in the current file, Blender will append a .001 to the end of the name.
EG - if there was already a World called "World". And you append a World with the same name, the new one will be called "World.001".
Also watch out for Blender removing any unused data blocks. If it's not being used and you save, it will be kept when you close the file. So click the shield (fake user) for any data that you want to keep in your file.
Hope that helps.
Hey Wayne,
Its a material node setup.
For getting a marble like effect.
Now i grouped that and named it marble. When i open the file where i need it, i go to append click that node setup but i just dont get where he is placing it. Or should i append the whole file?
Hi Yuki, in the Shader Editor: SHIFT+A > Add > Group > ... You should find it there.
