Modifiers gets deleted when i press apply?

[2 Girls 1 Kaze]

Doesn't matter which modifier, when i try to change anything, let's say in Subdevision the number of Viewports from 2 to 3 and press apply, that modifier gets removed.
But the new count still gets applied.

Same for Solidify, Shrinkwrap, doesn't matter what; When i click apply, it gets removed
(but it applies the new number/edit)

That's what the "Apply" buttons does. It adds the modifier changes permanently to your mesh. You're going from non-destructive to destructive, so to speak. Meaning once applied you cannot change the effects of the modifier any more.

You don't need to apply it for the modifier values to work. Just enter your values and the effect should be visible on your model.

Oh you gotta be kidding me...

I've restarted my PC and reinstalled Blender TWICE.... Come on xD

Even after reinstalling Blender 10 times more the modifiers will still be gone from the list when you apply them.

An example: just open a model and add the "Build" modifier to the model. It is set to start frame 1 and length 100 by default. Now move the timeline anywhere between 1 and 100, you should see your model slowly come together again, piece by piece. Now apply the modifier at some random frame between 1 and 100. The modifier is gone and the shape of your model stays at the frame you applied it. No more changes between the frames. That's what "Apply" does. ^^

Apply Ctrl-A
Makes the modifier “real”: converts the object’s geometry to match the applied modifier’s results, and deletes the modifier.

This is what the official Blender docs say about applying modifiers.

He's dead serious. Applyin modifiers, makes their effect permanent, and therefor deletes the modifier from the stack, since otherwise the modifier would be applied on top of its eexisting permanent effect, which nobody could possibly want. It works 100% as intended, no need to reinstall or panic.

Yeah, I'm never joking around when it comes to Blender...serious bizzinezz, you know?

I think he understood and was just joking about him going through all those hoops thinking something was wrong.

No, i actually thought it was bugged and i did all of that. I just started Blender, watched a Donut tutorial and the dude said that Blender doesn't have a lot of bugs, but that there are still a few, so i thought that was a bug ._.

But yeh, thank you all for your input.

*Wasn't trolling* just a silly little noob mistake.

[butcho]

No problem, man. Glad we could help.

Oh, sorry, that's not what I meant at all, I just meant that you understood in your second post and that all those additional explanations probably were unnecessary, not that you were trolling. My bad for expressing it badly.
