[swiftBlock/swiftSnap] SwiftSnap is throwing an error on save

garumple · December 13, 2016, 03:23

Hi,

I have recently installed Blender and SwiftSnap, although I have run into a little snag.

I can create a model, assign faces/patches etc, however when I attempt to 'Write', I get an error : "TypeError: save() got multiple values for argument 'filepath'".

I have tried to cross a few things from the list:

Downloaded the latest SwiftSnap from the git repo
Tried different geometries to check it wasn't the model spazzing out
Google for anyone else with the same issue.

I am a bit lost - has anyone else seen this before?

Hmm.. haven't seen this. What Blender version are you running? Do you mind sharing the full path and filename you try to use?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm running Blender 2.77. I should have mentioned this is a Windows 10 environment rather than a Linux environment.

The full path of the script is: "C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.77\scripts\addons\swiftSnap-master"

The full path of the attempted export is: "C:\Users\No\CAE\FWR_Eyeball", with a ".blend" file in that directory named either "FWR_Eyeball.blend" or "untitled.blend".

I have tried other directories (such as My Documents), but I get the same result.

The error I get looks like this:

Hmm... probably some change in Blender's API is to blame for this. SwiftSnap is working with 2.70 - 2.72. Can you try to install that version instead? Old version are found on blender's website.

It would appear that Blender has changed its API - version 2.72 works just fine.

Thanks for your help!
