I actually had expanded the add-on in the preferences list, and pressed the button there. The newest version of Blender has the label “Remove” for it. I honestly don’t remember if the version of Blender I had used when this problem started said Remove or Uninstall.

I’ve found the problem! My verge3d folder had custom applications inside the applications folder. It seems Blender won’t take it if it is a “modified” version of verge3d. I downloaded a clean copy of verge3d 2.12.4, used it to replace my modified version, and then Blender was able to see the add-on, and I could re-enable it. I copied over the custom apps afterwards. It is working again!

I post the solution because I think this could help some other users. Not sure how likely it is to try to enable the add-on after adding custom applications to verge3d, but you never know, hehehe.

Now that I think of it, I also uninstalled Blender 2.79 a few days ago (I had it installed, but used the stand-alone 2.80 version). Could that make any difference? I uninstalled it before I updated version 2.80 anyway.

In any case, do you happen to know where the preferences are being saved? Because replacing the 2.80 build was working fine before, so I guess they were being saved somewhere persistently.

Thanks!

Actually, I did try that yesterday, and nothing shows up. In fact, when I reach the fourth letter (“verg”) in the search form, the list gets empty.

Hello again. Some more info: this seems to be related to the “enable outline” puzzle. I’ve tried to change it to affect individual meshes instead of collections, and it does the same thing. Instead of showing the outline effect, it hides everything BUT the object you enable the outline for. So, when I did it for the BEDS collection, the only thing visible around it was the cast shadows on the floor, which is what got hidden. If I do the enable outline for one of the individual objects, say, the “color-frame”, it hides “everything surrounding it”. Really puzzling (no pun intended)

Thanks!

So, this seems to be working as long as I release the mouse button immediately after stopping with the camera drag. If I stop moving the camera, and there is a delay when releasing the button, the click is being triggered, so I’ll have to figure out a way not to identify the delayed release as a separate click.

In any case, before I noticed that the dragging was causing clicks to trigger, I was monitoring the clicks via collection names, not single meshes. So, in the case of the bed, I would check “when clicked” for the “BEDS” collection, instead of, say, the “head_foot_board” object. I can see that these “when clicked” events will have to be moved inside Gary’s puzzles block, and check which objects were clicked on only when camera_moved is false. But I would like to keep doing it by collection name. Unfortunately, the “picked object” puzzle does this by mesh name, not collection name. So, is there a way to get the “picked collection” name? And if not, is there a way to check if the “picked object” is inside a given collection? (I hope this makes sense)

Thank you for your help!

Hello Guys,

any comments/ideas about this issue? Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Yuri,

here is a project reduced to the minimal expression, with the puzzles I had copied above. If you try that, and check into the console log, you will see that both when clicking and when dragging (when the mouse button is released), the message is printed into the console.

I hope this helps to illustrate the problem. Let me know if you need anything else, and thank you very much for your help!
