Can you add detail on how to install the addon in Blender 5.0 #12

Description

@lpmwfx

Hi! I’m trying to use BlendQuery (CadQuery Blender add-on) with Blender 5.0, but the project doesn’t currently document how to install it on 5.0, and the latest version appears to have compatibility issues.

What I’m asking for

Could you please add explicit Blender 5.0 installation instructions (or clearly mark 5.0 as unsupported/experimental), including:

How to install/enable the add-on in Blender 5.0

How to install the required Python dependencies (CadQuery / OCP, etc.) for Blender’s bundled Python

Any known limitations or pinned versions (Blender / Python / CadQuery) that are required

Common error messages and troubleshooting tips

Current problem

On Blender 5.0, the add-on either:

fails to enable due to missing modules (e.g. ModuleNotFoundError: cadquery), or

enables but breaks at runtime due to dependency / API compatibility changes.

Environment

Blender: 5.0.x

OS: [Windows/Linux/macOS]

BlendQuery version/commit: [tag/commit]

CadQuery version (if installed): [version]

Steps attempted

Install add-on via Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install…

Enable the add-on

Attempt to run a simple CadQuery operation / import / conversion

Expected

Clear documented steps for Blender 5.0 (or an explicit statement that Blender 5.0 is not supported yet).

Actual

Installation / dependency setup is unclear for Blender 5.0 and I hit compatibility issues.

If Blender 5.0 support is not planned yet, even just adding a short README section like “Blender 5.0: currently unsupported; use Blender 4.x” would prevent confusion.

Thanks!
