1. Blender 2.8 Interface

Jan 5, 2019 - Whoa, the new preferences window is terrible. Looks odd right now if you compare to the main “User” section title to the left of it. P3D.in: share and view your Blender models.

After installing the addons in the user preferences, they don't show up anywhere in blender 2.8 except from workspace addons tab in the properties and clicking it doesnt do anything. In user preferences next to the addons list, it also says that 'Upgrade to 2.8x required'. Does that mean that we can't use any addons in 2.8 unless they are upgraded for 2.8 builds?

Blender 2.8 has yet to notify the add-on developers to make it compatible with 2.8. Currently, no or very few Add-ons work for this release. The release day for the beta version has been notified, check the website.

The add-ons now appear on the opposite side menu bar. Where they used to show up on the (T) menu bar, they now show up as tabs beside the (N) menu bar.

Ok the addons are in the addons in the preferences in 2.80 the mesh 2 is thereBut I am missing the measuremnts and the snap utils that used to show up in the T toolbar. Tool bar T is missing now.
Someone else must be scratching there head about why the addons are included with 2.80 but no person can find them to use them.

The manual for V. 2.80 says: 'To open the User Preferences editor go To File ‣ User Preferences. '

User Preference does not exist under File. I want to make paths to folders with filepathsWhere do I find it?

User preferences for 2.8 are now under the Edit > Preferences menu, to the right of File menu.

Saving and loading of settings has been moved into the Preferences window and is now done from a dedicated popup dialog, at the bottom left of the panel.

Autosave is on by default, meaning that any changes should be saved automatically on (gracious) exit. If Auto Save is disabled, a save button is made visible and settings are only saved at user discretion (good for testing with keymaps and other hard to reverse or critical settings).
