Troubleshooting
Updates
3D-Agent checks for updates on its own and asks before installing them. Each update takes you straight to the latest version.
Install an update
When a new version is out, an Update ready card appears at the bottom right with the version number.
- Update and restart downloads the update in the background, then restarts 3D-Agent.
- Later lets you pick In 15 minutes, In 1 hour, In 4 hours or Skip this version. ✕ reminds you in 4 hours.
- Full changelog shows what changed.
When a reminder is due, the update comes back as a small bar at the bottom right. Click Update and restart on the bar, or click the version to open the card again. Skip this version hides the update until the next version is out, or until you check for updates yourself.
While the update downloads, you can keep working. The card shows the percentage and the size, and Hide folds it into the bar.
If an answer is running when the download finishes, 3D-Agent waits for the answer to end. If you’re in the 3D-Agent window at that moment, the card asks with Restart now and Later; otherwise 3D-Agent restarts by itself. Later keeps the update in the bar until you click Restart now.
Then restart Blender. Until you do, the banner shows Waiting for Blender to reload the extension….
See what changed after an update
The first time you open 3D-Agent after an update, a What’s new window appears once the app is idle. It lists up to three changes in your app language. A fresh install doesn’t show it.
- Got it, ✕ or Esc closes the window.
- Full changelog opens the changelog .
To see the window again, open Settings → General and click What’s new next to App Version.
Required updates
Updates marked Required update can’t be postponed. They download and install on their own.
Check for updates yourself
Open Settings → General and click Check for Updates. If you’re up to date, you see You’re running the latest version.
If updates don’t install
- macOS: turn on App Management for 3D-Agent. Without it, you install every update by hand. See Permissions.
- Any system: download the latest version from 3d-agent.com/download and install it over your current one.
