Installation

1. Download the zip that matches your operating system and CPU.
2. Open Blender.
3. Go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.
4. Click Install from Disk.
5. Select the downloaded AssetKit zip file.
6. Enable the add-on if Blender does not enable it automatically.

Choose the Correct Package

• macOS Apple Silicon: use macos-arm64
• macOS Intel: use macos-x64
• Windows x64: use windows-x64
• Windows ARM64: use windows-arm64
• Linux x64: use linux-x64

Do not install a package built for another platform. A macOS Apple Silicon package will not work on Windows, Linux, or Intel Mac.

Importing

After installation, use:

File > Import > AssetKit

Select a supported file such as .glb, .gltf, .dae, .obj, .ply, .stl, or .3mf.

Exporting

Use:

File > Export > AssetKit

Choose the output format from the export file extension or export options.

Supported Formats

• glTF / GLB 2.0+
• COLLADA / DAE 1.4 and 1.5+
• OBJ
• PLY
• STL
• 3MF

COLLADA / DAE in Blender 5+

Blender 5 removed the built-in COLLADA importer/exporter. AssetKit provides DAE import and export support directly inside Blender 5+.

Updates

Download and install the newer package for your platform when a new version is released. If Blender keeps an older version enabled, disable or remove the old add-on first, then install the new package.

Support

If a file does not import or export correctly, please include the Blender version, operating system, AssetKit version, and a small sample file if possible.
