The "Messages" window is your source for all of RealFlow’s notifications. There you will find error messages, notifications about saved or opened projects, time steps, or debug information from Python scripts or C++ programs. With custom scripts and plugins it is possible to print out customized messages or values directly to the "Messages" window. But please be aware that writing out long text passages or large amounts of data to the "Messages" window can slow down RealFlow.

Enhanced Python Debugging Information

By default, RealFlow writes out shortened and rather common Python debug information. This makes is sometimes difficult to locate an error. For the standard, and more verbose Python debug style activate:

RealFlow | File > Preferences > Scripts > Redirect Output to Messages Panel

Tip:

If you are familiar with HTML and CSS commands you are able to customize your Python scene.messages() commands by choosing certain fonts or colours.
