Blender Lite - Add On debacle
JDC733 started this discussion in Help and Tips

Looking for direction.
Installed Blender and Blender Lite. However, after installing blender lite, the add-on section doesn't allow me to click the Import-Export Mecabricks (option doesn't even appear). Therefore, I couldn't export models to Blender. I thought the issue was my browser (Edge), so I downloaded Chrome and deleted Blender Lite on my computer. Now, when trying to go back into the Mecabricks shop and download blender lite again, it says I already own it and won't let me (even though its no longer on my cpu). End result = no blender lite and no way to export models from Mecabricks to Blender. Any guidance?

You can still redownload the add-on; click your username in the top-right corner, then click purchases, you will get the option to download it. Did you install the add-on using the instructions in the pdf that it comes with? If you did it should work normally.

The shop page is to buy (even if free), not download. You shall go to the « purchase » section of your account to download the latest available version of the products.

Secondly, when you install the addon, you shall first unzip the archive downloaded. Inside you will find an install.pdf file with instructions among others. It also contains the zip file of the addon itself. This is the one to install in Blender.
