Similarly, you can rename individual plugin folder to conduct a trail and error to +determine which plugin, specifically, is causing the problem. + +If the same problem persists, to reenable all your plugins, simply undo the folder name change you did above. +You will also want to delete the newly created folder which contains the version of BlenderBIM you just installed. \ No newline at end of file
