SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Blender users and Speckle workflows often struggle to move geometry and basic properties between Speckle Base objects and Blender data blocks. This skill provides a reliable bridge to convert between Speckle and Blender representations, enabling seamless visualization and basic property transfer without needing full IFC fidelity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Convert Speckle Mesh objects to Blender meshes and recreate collections in Blender.
  • Send Blender scene data to Speckle as Speckle Collections and receive back into Blender with basic material mapping.
  • Handle unit conversion and apply basic materials (RenderMaterial) on import to preserve appearance.

Quick Start

Install the SpecklePy package, then run a script to send your Blender scene to Speckle or to receive a Speckle model into Blender.

Frequently Asked Questions about crosstech-impl-speckle-blender

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert Speckle data to Blender meshes?▼

To convert Speckle data to Blender meshes, you can bridge Speckle Base objects directly into Blender collections. This workflow maps geometry and basic RenderMaterial properties while handling unit conversion to preserve appearance.

Can I send Blender collections to Speckle?▼

Yes, you can send Blender scene data to Speckle by converting Blender collections into Speckle Collections. This allows you to push geometry from Blender back into your Speckle workflow using SpecklePy.

Do I need SpecklePy to use the Speckle Blender integration?▼

Yes, SpecklePy is required to bridge Speckle data with Blender. You must install the SpecklePy package and use the Blender Python API to execute the conversion scripts for sending or receiving data.

How are units handled when importing Speckle objects into Blender?▼

Unit conversion is handled automatically during the import process to ensure data integrity. When receiving Speckle objects into Blender, the workflow scales geometry appropriately to match the target environment.

Does this Speckle Blender bridge support full IFC fidelity?▼

No, this bridge does not support full IFC fidelity. It is designed for seamless visualization and basic property transfer, mapping basic RenderMaterial properties and geometry without preserving complex IFC metadata.
