V4 now with FOCUS PANEL CATEGORIES, ENABLE/DISABLE Addons, Per Workspace FIltering, Hide HOLDER Tab

This is the documentation for the Blender Clean Panels addon, supporting Blender version 3.0 and above.

Clean Panels is trying to overcome the clutter that the N-Panel has become over the years. Our goal is to harness how the Blender user creates and how their workflow can be made easier.

Documentation

**** If you are having issues with items not showing up on the menu bar and have BLENDERKIT, MOVE Blenderkit in the N-Panel reorder option above your addon that is missing. Blenderkit is clearing the menu bar out. ****


**** When using the RE-ORDER option YOU MUST restart after each set of changes. This is due to Blender coding and registering N-Panel Addons. ****


We have cleaned up a lot of items in workspaces that typically are built into Blender but get turned off when enabling workspaces. These are items that would normally be used on a daily basis. We have built these into Clean Panels to be on automatically, leaving the customer only to worry about actual add-ons.


MAC - Run as super user try either of these options from Terminal app.

Pasting this in the terminal: sudo /Applications/Blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender

or

find /Applications/Blender.app -exec chmod 755 {} ;
