RU Addon for: Blender version 2.93 and above. For 2.79 see special installation instruction. License: GPL3 Prerequisites: We added optional nodes that depend on additional libraries. This wiki page lists these dependencies and includes installation instructions. Documentation: If anything isn't clear (or missing) in this document please ask about it on the Issue Tracker, we want to get these lessons right and you can help us! Community: Discord
Sverchok is a powerful parametric tool for architects, allowing geometry to be programmed visually with nodes. Mesh and geometry programming consists of combining basic elements such as:
Comes with more than 600 nodes to help create and manipulate geometry. Combining these nodes will allow you to:
Install Sverchok as you would any blender addon.
Installation from Preferences Download Sverchok archive (zip) from github
.zip
Install..
buttonNode: Sverchok
:By default Blender ( above 2.80) will store the fact that you enabled an add-on and it will be available next time you start Blender.
Upgrade Sverchok on fly
Use button Check for new version
in sverchok panel in node editor (press N
for panel).
Press Update Sverchok
button.
At the end press F8 to reload add-ons. In NodeView the new version number will appear in the N-panel.
Additionally Sverchok provides a lot of useful features out-of-the-box that don't require you to install anything extra, but we do provide additional nodes and scripts that make use of so called "3rd party" libraries like:
Instructions regarding their installation is found at this wiki page
If you are installing from a release zip, please be aware that if it contains a folder named sverchok-master.x.y.z
, you will need to rename that folder to sverchok-master
because folder names with dots are not valid python package names.
If you are installing from a release found here, these files contain folders that have the dots mentioned in the previous point. These versioned release zips are not meant for installing from, but rather can be used to try older versions of Sverchok when you are using older .blend files and older Blender versions. Don't use these release zips if you are installing sverchok for the first time.
if an error is raised like:
NameError: name 'nodes' is not defined
then exit Blender and restart Blender. This time also activate Sverchok by checking the tickbox, but give it as long as it needs to initialize the add-on. It's a complicated Add-on and might take up to 10 seconds to enable (depends on how fast your machine is and how much ram you have).
In case Sverchok still fails to install, we've compiled a list of reasons and known resolutions here. Please let us know if you encounter other installation issues.
If you update with update button in sverchok panel it can raise an error if you renamed a folder, so follow this (a bootstrap script you can run from TextEditor)
