Nodes and Sync Status

Whenever you connect to a Space, or a change is made to a node (such as a transform, hierarchy change, etc) from any platform, our plugin syncs the nodes from the server.

We incdicate the current sync status for Blender within the properties side panel.

Useful Information

Applying Modifiers or changes to Scale

  • If you have applied a Modifier to an object (such as "Wireframe" or "Subsurface Subdivision") you will need to enter -> exit Edit mode in order to update the mesh to the server. The object will now be correct for all other users.
  • After you have scaled an object (in Object mode) you will often need to apply that change (ctrl+A). Once you have done so, you will need to enter -> exit Edit mode in order to update the mesh to the server. Otherwise, for all other users the object will revert to it's original scale.
