Depending on your OS, it could be located in one of the following locations +:: + + - Windows + - USER: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\ + - SYSTEM: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\ + - macos + - USER: /Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Blender/2.79/ + - SYSTEM: /Library/Application Support/Blender/2.79/ + - Linux + - USER: $HOME/.config/blender/2.79/ + - SYSTEM: /usr/share/blender/2.79/ + +After renaming the folder try a fresh BlenderBIM reinstall and then test to see if the same +problem exists. 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
