FAQ

Do I need to keep the PropUI editor open for my panel to work?

No. The generated panel is stored in the .blend as a Text datablock and keeps running when the editor is closed. You can also export a portable .py file. See Generated UIs.

Why doesn't my entry show up in the panel?

The Entry List and the Generated Layout are separate layers. An entry only appears once it is added or imported into the Generated Layout. Check also for collapsed sub-panels, visibility conditions, and empty (skipped) sub-panels — see Troubleshooting.

What's the difference between a UI Variant and a Generated UI?

A UI Variant is a saved editor design (entries + layout + settings). A Generated UI is the built output panel that a design produced. See UI Variants.

Can one panel drive properties on more than one object or datablock?

Yes. Set a per-entry Target Override so individual entries point at different owners, while the rest use the default Property Storage. See Property Storage.

Can I make a property without building a panel?

Yes — use Apply Properties instead of Generate UI. Apply All Managed syncs every managed entry; Apply Selected syncs just the active one. See Output Setup.

What entry types do not create custom properties?

Display Link, Custom, Text, and Operator Button. They draw, link, label, or act — they do not own storage. See Entry Types.

Where can a generated panel appear?

In sidebar tabs across many editors, or in Properties editor tabs. The full list is in What is PropUI.

Is it safe to run an imported generated script?

Treat it like any Python: only run scripts you trust. An imported generated UI executes Python from a Blender Text datablock. See Installation.

How do I move the editor out of the 3D Viewport?

Change izom PropUI Editor Location in add-on preferences. See Finding the editor.

What Blender version do I need?

Blender 5.0.0 or newer. See Installation.
