Just tested and runtime material receiving works fine off master. You said you did a merge? perhaps there was a conflict.
Also could you try grabbing the latest blender connector from SpeckleManager and seeing if the open cylinder issue persists.
Let me know if you are interested in a voice call at somepoint.
I thought that I had the latest Blender connector.
Speckle Manager says this:
Strange. I will updated it manually.
Best,
D.
Nice catch, It looks like the version number thatâs shown inside blender is not the same version numbering that the manager uses.
Iâve send you my email adress, if you could send me the blender file that would be great!
I can recreate your issue with the Blender connector and have oppend an issue đ˘ď¸ N-Gon face sending ¡ Issue #56 ¡ specklesystems/speckle-blender ¡ GitHub
No need to send me the blender file, it apears to affect all N-gon faces (faces with n verticies) such as the default circles and cylinders.
Iâve also opend an issue to have the Unreal connector support N-gons since currently it only supports triangles and quads. N-Gon face conversion ¡ Issue #22 ¡ specklesystems/speckle-unreal ¡ GitHub
Thank you for discovering this!
Thanks,
another issue for Blender 2.93 is that it wonât start if I donât start Speckle Manager. It seems that Blender Speckle Plugin waits indefinetely for connection. It doesnât seem to be asynchronously loading.

Hi Dimitrios,
Any luck with setting up git submodules?
Iâm struggling to get a setup that works my end, it doesnât appear that git submodules allows you to checkout a sub directory of a repo, and ideally, you would only want to checkout speckle-unreal/SpeckleUnrealProject/Plugins/SpeckleUnreal/ directory.
It might be possible for us to change the Unreal repo to have the plugin as the root, and then provide the example project on a seperate repo. This might be a requirement for publishing our plugin on the Unreal Marketplace anyway, so I would be happy to investigate it.
Let me know what you think.
Unfortunately havenât test it at all. The option with two repos is not very convenient as we are working many people here in PrismArch on the Unreal project and updates are difficult to do manually. We have also other plugins apart from Speckle should be occasionally updated such as Cesium maps. I will try submodules next week.
Best,
Dimitiros
Hi Jedd,
I have managed to add all the Plugins for Unreal as submodules for my big project. However, the main issue with speckle-unreal is that it is not a plugin but a project. To tell the truth, it doesnât matter, but it makes the speckle-unreal to look bad as a plugin. Perhaps, it is indeed better to split speckle-unreal into a project template, e.g. Speckle Unreal Template, and a plugin, it can be the speckle-unreal
I am copying pasting my notes. It is a synopsis of Git - Submodules site that I have used. If you do not like commands you can use âTurtoisegitâ, I think it is the best free git client with submodules support but I have preferred the command line in order to be more flexible 
Commands to Add a submodule into an Unreal project
| Step | Action | Command |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Make a folder and go there | mkdir Plugins |
| 2 | Add submodule | git submodule add https://github.com/PrismArch-H2020/speckle-unreal
|
| 3 | Add and Commit | git commit -am âAdd Speckle for Unreal moduleâ |
| 4 | Push | git push origin main |
Troubleshooting:
| message | Remedy |
|---|---|
| -a does not make sense | Linux needs single quotes for messages, e.g. âAdd Speckle for Unreal moduleâ, whereas Windows needs double quotes |
Actions to remove a submodule (in case you have installed it in wrong path)
To remove a submodule you need to:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file. |
| 2 | Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules |
| 3 | Delete the relevant section from .git/config |
| 4 | Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash). |
| 5 | Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash). |
| 6 | Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule " |
| 7 | Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule |

Hi Dimitrios,
Thanks for the detailed notes on submodules 
These will definitly save me some time 
I think splitting the repo makes sense, Iâll try and get around to doing this this week, otherwise it will have to be next week sorry.
Great I am waiting for the split !
