How to use Addon:

1. Open Blender
2. Go to File > Import > KLE Raw Data (.json)
3. Select the json file that you downloaded from Keyboard Layout Editor and click Import KLE Raw JSON
4. All Done!

Note: Do not use keycap_parts.blend as it will not work! Use example below if you want a starting point

How to add LEDs:

• Add the following lines to the keyboard "Notes" section

  led_color: #RRGGBB
  led_brightness: 1
  

  • Where led_brightness is any number from 0 to 1 and led_color is a hex color

• To make the keycap legends backlit, make the legend color the same as the LED color.

Blender scene file

A basic scene for blender can be found in this gist. Open the scene in blender before importing. Please note that lighting, camera and render setup will most probably require some tweaking to fit with your specific layout.

Special Thanks To:

keyboard-layout-editor-for-blender's Issues

Cherry profile models

Hi there!

I downloaded and started playing around with KLE-for-Blender yesterday and noticed the lack of support for Cherry profile keycaps. I went looking around and there appears to be a repo (Kieeboard) with .STLs of the Cherry profile keycaps based off a Cherry datasheet. I could import the keys one by one to Blender but that would be horribly inefficient to do compared to the nice import workflow in KLE-for-Blender.

If anything, I'm new to Blender but I'm pretty familiar with Python myself. It would be great if KLE-for-Blender is extended to support Cherry profile (and if I have time I might even take it on or help out where possible).

Edit: previewed some of the .STL files and something looks off about them for some reason: the top surface of the keycaps seem to be too large for Cherry profile I think.

Error on json import

After File>import KLE Raw Data I receive this error:

Serious performance issues when importing KLE json file

Windows 10 Pro, Blender v2.80, v3.0 KLE for Blender

Importing a simple json file for something such a planck or ergodox takes 2+ minutes to import. I monitored resources during this time, and I also noticed a utilization of up to 17GB of memory during the json import. This seems very very high, and certainly 2+ minutes for a single import is a problem.

I have not tested with 2.79, but will attempt to do that with the current version of this plugin.

Blender freezing and crashing when trying to import json

Blender completely freezes and crashes when trying to import json after updating to v.3.0 and Blender 2.80. Previously 2.79 was working just fine for me with the exception of arrow keys which is why I tried updating now it doesn't work at all. Please help thank you for your time.

DCS Profile only one row

When I load up a DCS json with different rows, it loads a keyboard with one row only. The space bar on both DCS and DSA are indented instead of convex as well.

Issue loading in text sizes

Required Information

• [Blender version] 2.90.1
• [Add-on version] v3.1
• [Link to the layout] http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/ea63e70bc762c0eb54012d2481c10ef4

Describe the bug
Not sure if it's a bug or intentional but the text size is not being imported. Is this a known issue or is it intentional?

Screenshots
Blender version

Straight from KLE

The text size is not the same, some keys in blender turn out correct like arrows and brackets but more often than not it fails to replicate the sizes from KLE

Help -- Addon Install

I've been trying to get this install to work for a couple hours now -- and cannot get this addon to install properly on a mac osx 10.13.4

Installing through the zip puts the addon in a different location under user rather than with the rest of the addons -- it seems to be installed but doesn't show up in the list.

Closest I've gotten it to work is to first install through the zip and then move the folder to the other location -- this at least forced the addon to show up in the list and let me enable it.

But these were the result upon import...

Any advice?

Google Fonts not fully working

I have the following in my KLE custom style

`@font-face {
font-family: 'Hannari';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 600;
src: url(//fonts.gstatic.com/ea/hannari/v1/Hannari-Regular.eot);
src: url(//fonts.gstatic.com/ea/hannari/v1/Hannari-Regular.eot?#iefix) format('embedded-opentype'),
url(//fonts.gstatic.com/ea/hannari/v1/Hannari-Regular.woff2) format('woff2'),
url(//fonts.gstatic.com/ea/hannari/v1/Hannari-Regular.woff) format('woff'),
url(//fonts.gstatic.com/ea/hannari/v1/Hannari-Regular.ttf) format('truetype');
}

• { font-family: 'Hannari'; }
  `

And I get the error:

Import option for KLE Raw Data (.json)

Windows 10, 64-bit. Blender version 2.80.75.

I performed the installation steps and can currently see "Import-Export: KLE Raw JSON format (.json)" in my Add-ons menu. It is checked, though it has a note about "upgrade to 2.8x required."

However, KLE Raw Data (.json) does not currently appear as an option in the File - Import menu.

"None" is not a supported option for display device

Required Information

• [2.92]
• [3.3]
• [Layout not the problem]

Describe the bug
When attempting to import a layout, this error is returned:

It appears to be because the addon is expecting "None" to be an option, but not finding it. I worked around it by going into the file mentioned in the error message and changing the value from "none" to "sRGB"

Can't install into Blender 2.79

I may be messing it up somehow, but I've downloaded v2.6 and v2.5 zips and tried to install add-on from file but it just drops back to the add-on list with no addition of the import-export plugin.

Keyboard Layout Incorrect

Hi, whenever I load in any keyboard, whether is was the sample layouts or my own layout, I am given the image in the attached picture. I am not sure if there is something I am doing wrong or not.

Vertically stacked legends possible or not?

Hey guys just wanted to point this out, not sure if its an available feature or if this is a glitch

It would appear that stacking the numpad return key so that the letters are vertical makes the text box outline (the triangles above and below the text) visible in all renders.

I've tried adjusting the legend size to maybe eliminate the problem, but it would appear that it doesn't matter.

Is this a possible feature that I'm simply having problems with or is this a feature not yet added to this plugin?

Thanks!

just dose not work!

please fix. i used to do this all the time but now it just doesn't seem to work :(

Can't activate, doesn't show up in Addon List

This looks really sweet! Unfortunately, I tried to install it into Blender 2.79 and it doesn't show up in the user preferences list to activate. I've tried importing both the whole zip file and just the "keyboard_importer.py" file. If I uncheck "overwrite" while importing it shows that something is installed already. I'm running on Windows, with the 64bit version of blender (installed, not from a zip). Any help would be appreciated.

Case Color not included in import (v2.8 of the addon)

I was able to get around this by giving the case the same material properties of the keycaps with the desired color swapped out, but I know that in v2.6 this wasn't necessary.

Row profile

Thank you for this amazing plugin. However I am still missing the row profiles for it to be of use to me. If you ever have time to add this then that would be so amazing. Thank you again and keep up the good work!

Font issues for DSA keycaps with multiple size legends.

Hey this tool is awesome. I noticed a couple issues importing a DSA layout: default font is not importing (though the font it's using looks pretty good), keycaps with multiple font sizes are importing as the same size; bottom legends are getting cut off below the baseline.

Thanks!

Cherry MX Switch model too small

the switches that kle-to-blender creates along the keycaps seem to be about 80% of the actual size and float in their respective holes on any plate that's created with the correct dimensions.

Atreus layout does not import properly

I tried both the Atreus preset in KLE and the Atreus62 KLE file made by jowe over on geekhack here

I'm also using the Blender Scene from the README.

The Atreus preset in KLE turns out better than the Atreus62, but neither appear to import correctly. Perhaps it is related to #36 somehow?

The Atreus preset seems mostly fine on the left-hand side, but the right-hand explodes out. A lot of the left-hand side also goes behind the backdrop.

Here's the User Perspective preview pane rotated upward to show behind the backdrop.

The Atreus62 one however appears to be straight up missing most keys. I'm not sure if that's a configuration issue in KLE or not truthfully.

---

Thanks for this tool, by the way! Despite not being able to render an Atreus62 as I wanted, I was able to successfully render out a regular 60% board to get an idea of the colors I'm looking at for the keycaps. Being able to see a "real world" example of the colors side-by-side was very helpful 😃

Weird lines appearing on keys

Hello. I have loaded the model, shaded it to smooth and turned on auto-smooth but there are lines going down the middle of each key and the sides of larger keys.

Is there a way I can fix this? Thanks

Import leaves behind template objects

When running the import script, it crashes during the cleanup step with the following output:

Exception has occurred: RuntimeError
Error: Object 'led' can't be selected because it is not in View Layer 'RenderLayer'!
  File "c:\Users\Admin\Dev\GitHub\Keyboard-Layout-Editor-for-Blender\helpers.py", line 4, in select_object
    object.select_set(select)
  File "c:\Users\Admin\Dev\GitHub\Keyboard-Layout-Editor-for-Blender\import_keyboard.py", line 864, in read
    helpers.select_object(bpy.data.objects[object])
  File "c:\Users\Admin\Dev\GitHub\Keyboard-Layout-Editor-for-Blender\__init__.py", line 29, in execute
    import_keyboard.read(self.filepath)

As a result, it aborts before deleting the template objects, leaving them in the scene.

Wrong key rotation

First, congrats for your amazing work !

Key rotation is not handled the same way as KLE. See :

Ergodox (pinkified but layout is still default one) in KLE:

Result after import in Blender:

I suspect rotation center is "key unit center" in Blender, while it is "key unit top left" in KLE.

Not sure what is going wrong here, given that I am not an expert on Blender, but it's pretty weird. It works on 2.7.9, but not 2.8.

Here's the error message.

I installed the add-on, and it keeps telling me to upgrade to blender 2.8x, yet I have the most recent version of blener 2.8. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks so much.

Error on importing json (v3.0)

Hey,

I've tried to import json file using new version of the file but I'm getting this error

Any idea how to fix that?

Blender on Mac

Nothing happens after installing the add-on - no error etc. but nothing shows up in the import-export add ons. :/

Exception thrown when no key color is ever specified on kle

I guess the key["c"] element is not populated for some reason. Just try with the default json from kle.com; keys colors are default (#cccccc) and do not appear in the json. This triggers the exception for me

(cannot attach json files to github issues?)

Location Issue

I downloaded this last night and followed the instructions with only slight variations since Blender has changed some menu options since the instructional was made. I went to import the .json file of my KLE design and blender fired a location error, "struct rna type of vector font has been removed." I didn't change anything actual files or locations, so I'm not sure what's happening.
I also don't really work with Blender often, so if it's something obvious then I apologize.

Blender permanently freezes v2.90.1 Alpha

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this is related to #51 or #53 but it could be because support has not been added for blender v2.90 (latest release v3.0 just added support for 2.80, so...). Also, my blender doesn't seem to crash, it just doesn't respond, ever.

Anyways, I was just wondering if this is because there is no support for 2.90 or if it is the same thing as the two aforementioned reasons. Thanks!

Happy Hacking, Bobbbay

Hi

Followed instructions, am able to import KLE json file, but all I get on screen is a row of different sized buttons and a big cube. Tried two different json files.

When I was installing your addon Blender complained about some "cycles" (IIRC) file being missing.

Am a total noob with Blender, installed it today just to use your tool.

Installed versions: 2.79

Any ideas?

Thanks, Ian

Attribute error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'upper'

I had to change "self.color = color.upper()" to "self.color = str(color).upper()" at lines 81 and 291 in key.py file in order to fix this.

Please check if this is the correct way to fix this and update the source code

AttributeError at line 992

Just tried using this plugin, and when importing a json file from KLE, I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'TextCurve' object has no attribute 'align_x'

An exception is called, but the handling of that exception causes the same attribute error, except it's on lines 32 of init.py, and 1038 of import_keyboard.py

Hi, having an issue with loading in a JSON

I keep getting this error when trying to import a JSON, any ideas on what to do ? Thanks!

Add error handling for invalid key colors

Hello!
I'm not able to import the .json file that I download from http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/
I've tried reading how to use this three times now and I hope I'm not making a simple mistake.
I'm running

• Blender version 2.80

• Python version 3.7.0

• KLE-plugin version 3.1

I also opened the blender scene you recommended template.blend before importing.

Here's the error I receive upon importing the .json-file:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\Keyboard-Layout-Editor-for-Blender-master\__init__.py", line 30, in execute
    return import_keyboard.load_json(self, self.filepath)
  File "C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\Keyboard-Layout-Editor-for-Blender-master\import_keyboard.py", line 373, in load_json
    read(filepath)
  File "C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\Keyboard-Layout-Editor-for-Blender-master\import_keyboard.py", line 236, in read
    key_obj)
  File "C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\Keyboard-Layout-Editor-for-Blender-master\labels.py", line 217, in add
    curve = add_text(key_label.text, label_size, font, label_position, box)
  File "C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\Keyboard-Layout-Editor-for-Blender-master\labels.py", line 165, in add_text
    new_label.data.font = font
ReferenceError: StructRNA of type VectorFont has been removed

location: <unknown location>:-1

By the way, the first thing that threw me off was that under "File" I cannot find "User Preferences". I had to go through Edit > Preferences in order to find my Add-ons tab. Just thought I'd point it out and perhaps that's a clue to why importing doesn't work? I know that previous versions of blender had this but I believe they changed this with the 2.80 update.

I could try rolling back to an earlier version of blender, but I hope I do not have to do so :)

Add support for Signature Plastics DSS profile

What would it take to add a new profile? I'm curios about Signature Plastics DSS family, but I haven't seen many renders for it before, and I am unsure if models already exist for it. If creating models for these was something useful, I could try to do it, but I'm not very familiar with the process.

Here's a sheet about the DSS structure: https://pimpmykeyboard.com/content/DSS_Family_Updated.pdf

Wrong installation path on blender-2.79-windows64.zip

I am using blender-2.79-windows64.zip, which is a portable version. When the addon is installed, as explained in the README, it is copied to C:\Users\<USER>\AppData.... However, it should be copied to a path relative to where the binary is located: ...\blender-2.79-windows64\2.79\scripts\addons. These are the steps I followed to have it installed:

1. Create a new subdir in ...\blender-2.79-windows64\2.79\scripts\addons named io_kle.
2. Extract the content of the release zip file (v2.4.zip) to the created subdir.
3. Follow steps 6-9 of the README.
4. Remove C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation.

I get the following error when this layout is loaded:

But the preset layouts work as expected. Might it be relatd to (CSS) styles? Am I missing some other dependency?

Add Support for Blender 2.8

Hiya guys, I saw a similar issue and it was closed. I figured it was in there as a bug but I'm wondering if we could have it here as a feature request? If not, thanks for reading!

I'll try to figure it out by googling around but if anyone could point me toward the specific broken bits and any blender 2.8 API docs I can start looking into it. I'm new to Python but have coded as3/c#/c++ at work and use Maya/ZB/Painter/Unity etc.

Failed to install the addon

Hi,

I follow the instructions and try to install the addon to blender, but run into a problem:

6. Select the zip archive that you downloaded and click Install from File… at the top right
7. Check the checkbox next to Import-Export: Import: KLE Raw JSON format (.json)

After 6 is done, there is no such item(and no such checkbox) in Import-Export. Does it mean the addon is not installed properly? Or any other thing is wrong? I used Blender v2.79b and addon v2.9.

Add tags

First of all, thank you for this add-on.
I knew I had this project on my starred repositories so I searched for keyboard and later for blender but it didn't work.
GitHub allows you to add tags for your project next to the description and I suggest you do since tags are useful in many ways.

Addon not installing

I perform all the steps listed. But after I click Install on the top right there isn't any import: KLE option to click a checkbox at all.
