  • There is also external editor problem. I edited the space_view3d_toolbar.py file with Notepad++ and then opened Blender. Empty UI appears.

  • With "empty UI" problems, make sure that you're abiding by the same indention as is used in the file (in the case of our py scripts, it's damned spaces)

  • You're right Joshua. But I have an interesting problem with Notepad++. I opened space_view3d_toolbar.py with notepad++ and add a new column to the object tools, then saved it. See the video below and tell me what's wrong with it please. (I did the same changes with Blender Text Editor and it worked.)

  • The blender text editor inserts spaces when pressing tab by default, since that is the python convention we follow. Most likely notepad++ is inserting a tab. Just check the console window for errors when you get an empty UI, it should give the error message.

  • Fixed live edit r35994.
    if you give script errors in python you need to check the dos window and it normally is quite clear whats wrong.

    closing.
