Tips
The following setting will make manipulating more easy, thus are strongly suggested.
Save the startup file
In Blender, click on the File
dropdown, Defaults
and click Save Startup File
. This will save the entire scene for the startup. For example, delete the Cube
, and open a python console, then save this scene as startup.
This is the startup scene of mine:
Change rotation and zoom center of viewport to selected object
Open preference panel and select:
Orbit Around Selection
Zoom to Mouse Position
The following tips are optional.
Grid setting

you can deselect Grid
and Floor
.
Python
Note
You could avoid install inside Blender by setting bl to use system python package:
export BLENDER_COMMAND='blender --python-use-system-env'
Troubleshooting during installation
Here are our advices to some of the issues (albeit rare) you may encounter during the setup:
Error: ImportError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.30’ not found
Newer versions of scipy and numpy distributed by conda-forge are compiled using gcc-toolchain and requires the up-to-date dynamic library to run them. You may specify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to let Blender know where to find these libraries instead of your system’s default:
`bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CONDA_DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
`
