What is the path to blender on mac pro#
Last year I bought an iMac Pro when they were first available in the UK, to be using primarily with Blender the spec of the system is as follows And currently Blender 2.8 seems to run slow on the system, especially eevee, would this be due to it still being in beta and it not being optimised. ifc file to import, Blender becomes unresponsive. Blender 2.8 Eevee on iMac Pro - Performance issues.

Right click, select Show Package Contents and navigate to Contents/MacOS/ where the unix executable can be found (if the executable is what youre looking for). The actual executable can be found within the Blender.app application bundle.

Now the Import-Export: IfcBlender shows, and I can enable it on the import/exports. So on mac the directory of Blender is individual on each system. Then I copied the downloaded io_import_scene_ifc to the path /Applications/blender.app/Contents/Resources/2.73/scripts/addons via cp -r io_import_scene_ifc /Applications/blender.app/Contents/Resources/2.73/scripts/addons in the terminal. I select the files, but Import-Export: IfcBlender does not show under the import/exports to check off. I attempted to use the importer to import the files via Install the Blender add-on by clicking on File > User Preferences > Add-ons > Install from File. I have gone to and selected IfcBlender for Blender 2.73 64bit OS X.

I have installed the IfcBlender for Blender 2.73 32bit OSX but get a variety of errors including an incorrect architecture error. I see that the shows the message under OS X: "Users are advised to use a 32bit Blender and IfcOpenShell on OSX if possible"
