But the blender python api really doesn’t give information on what the use case for macros are. Things like modal operators overriding context are well explains, but macros seem to be a bit secretive! It would be great to see some more informative documentation on the subject. Since it appears that others (see the webpage link above) are finding it difficult to get even basic examples to work as desired. If someone could give a quick introduction to macros and what they are best used for, it would be greatly appreciated!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Kind Regards</div><span class="m_3205824736218146746HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>James</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></font></span></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
