  • self.can_start(context)
    • returns True if Wax Dropper ui and data structures can be initialized, else False
    • by default, this function checks the following, where ob is bpy.context.active_object: return ob is not None and ob.type == "MESH"
    • must be rewritten with the @classmethod decorator
  • self.ui_setup_post()
    • called after ui elements have been declared
    • create your own ui panels and elements
    • add/edit buttons, frames, properties, etc. in the existing structure:

        self.info_panel
            self.inst_paragraphs
            self.options_frame
                self.wax_actions_options
                self.wax_surface_options
        self.tools_panel
            self.mode_frame
                self.mode_options
            self.finish_frame
                self.fuse_and_continue_button
                self.commit_button
                self.cancel_button
    

    • hide existing ui elements with the following code (replace self.info_panel with any ui element above): self.info_panel.visible = False
  • self.start_post()
    • called after ui and data structures have been initialized
  • self.end_commit_post()
    • called after Wax Dropper is committed
