The tools are available in the ZPlugins > CozyBlanket menu.

## Python Module Integration

The included Python module provides a reference implementation of the CozyBlanket network API. It also contains utility functions for directly importing .obj files when building pipeline scripts.

Install the module using pip: `pip install cozyblanket`

### Example Usage

```
from cozyblanket import CozyBlanketConnection

# Connect to a running instance
CB = CozyBlanketConnection()  # Optional device_id argument
CB.connect()

# Close current document and clear scene
CB.document_close()
CB.scene_clear()

# Push new retopology target from OBJ
CB.target_push_obj("target.obj", "named_target")
CB.target_load("named_target")

# Save current mesh to OBJ
CB.editmesh_pull_obj("editmesh.obj")

# Add remote action button
CB.remote_actions_add(
    "Example Button",
    lambda: print("The user pressed the button!")
)

# Process remote actions
while True:
    CB.remote_actions_process()

# Cleanup connection
CB.disconnect()
```

Note: The `remote_actions_process()` method needs to be called periodically from your client application to handle incoming events.
