# Custom Templates - Add-On
|
|
|
|
### Have you ever wanted to customize new projects?
|
|
|
|
Custom Templates Add-On allows you to use your own .blend files as template options for new projects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Why this add-on?
|
|
|
|
Blender allows you to save you own .blend file to use on startup.
|
|
|
|
This is great, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to create your own templates?
|
|
|
|
With **Custom Templates** you can setup as many .blend file as you like, as templates.
|
|
|
|
### Preferences
|
|
|
|
In the add-on preferences, you can manage the list of your custom template files.
|
|
|
|
You can add, remove and reorder templates.
|
|
|
|
Each template has it's Name, and Path to the .blend file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Note that, as of now, using wrong file paths will NOT show any warning and you will get an error while opening the template.*
|
|
*Be sure to use only valid .blend files as path.*
|
|
|
|
### How to use
|
|
|
|
You can always open the add-on preferences using the button `File > Defaults > Manage templates`.
|
|
|
|
Instead of using preferences, you can select a new template file using `File > Defaults > Select new custom template`, or, if you have a .blend file open, you can use `File > Defaults > Use current as new template`.
|
|
*This functions will open a popup where you can also set the Name for the new template*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Support
|
|
|
|
As of today, the add-on has been only tested on Blender 4.2.0.
|
|
*It may or may not work on previous version.*
