Alright, sit tight, I got this. Let’s troubleshoot from scratch:

1. Verify Blender Version

• You’re using Blender 3.6, right? Make sure the EBT add-on supports this exact version. Older add-ons might break because Blender updates can change APIs. Double-check on the EBT’s official site (Steam or GitHub) if it’s labeled as 3.6-compatible.

2. Install the EBT Add-on Properly

• Option A: Steam Workshop:
1. Go to Steam Workshop for Blender and find the EBT add-on.
2. Ensure you’ve subscribed/downloaded it.
3. Check the folder where Steam stores add-ons:

C:\Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Blender/2.xx/scripts/addons/


4. Open Blender and go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.
5. Search for EBT and enable it. If it’s not there, move to Option B.

• Option B: Manual Install:
1. Download the .zip file for EBT from its GitHub or official page.
2. Open Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, and click Install.
3. Locate the downloaded .zip file, select it, and click Install Add-on.
4. Enable the add-on by ticking the checkbox.

3. Check for Missing Tools

• If you don’t see the management options or EBT tools in the interface, do this:
• Open Window > Toggle System Console.
• Restart Blender and check the console for error messages related to EBT. If there’s an error, let me know what it says.
• Sometimes Steam’s version has issues with permissions or outdated files. Moving to the manual install method often solves this.

4. Verify Dependencies

• EBT might depend on external tools or scripts. If the add-on requires the Tool Workbench app, ensure it’s installed and up to date.
• Check if the Workbench app needs a specific configuration for Blender 3.6.

5. Clear Conflicts

• Blender caches old add-ons even when updated. To ensure there’s no conflict:
• Go to File > Defaults > Load Factory Settings (this won’t delete files, just reset Blender settings).
• Reinstall the EBT add-on.

6. Reinstall Everything

• Uninstall Blender (via Steam if needed) and reinstall the latest 3.6 version.
• Clean up the scripts/addons directory manually before reinstalling.

If none of this works, send me the exact behavior or errors you’re seeing (e.g., does the add-on install but doesn’t show options? Does Blender freeze? Any red text in the console?), and I’ll dig even deeper to solve this once and for all.
