Hi.
Without this plugin you will not be able to import the mesh back in s4s, so simply using someone elses blend will do nothing.
1). install s4s and blender on your d drive, not c drive.
2). open s4s and set Blender path to blender.exe in the installation folder.
3). Save, close s4s, close blender. Open s4s again, try cloning and exporting any item, open in Blender, check if you have s4studio cas tools
So I tried downloading both files to my D drive. When I downloaded the files, I extracted them to the D drive. Opened S4S from my D drive and set the blender path to the Blender.exe that is in my D drive. I opened S4S again from the D drive and try to export a mesh, I get this error. Am I installing it wrong?
