Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing trouble getting SculptMate running, check Blender's system console (in the top left under the "Window" dropdown next to "File" and "Edit") for any error messages. Then search in the issues list with your error message and symptoms.

Note On macOS there is no option to open the system console. Instead, you can get logs by opening the app Terminal, entering the command /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender and pressing the Enter key. This will launch Blender and any error messages will show up in the Terminal app.
