Custom Tab on TOOLS region only appears when there is an object on the scene I got a custom coded tab to help me with some tools. But that tab only shows itself when an object is created on the scene. Or when I select an object. Is there a way to make my custom tab on the TOOLS region stay with or without an object selected? I need it to be shown at all times.
Please help.
Thanks.
When we define a custom panel, it's bl_category property defines the name of the tab that it will be displayed in. As long as there is an active panel for a tab it will be shown.

A panel can have a poll() method which should be decorated as a @classmethod that determines if the panel can be displayed or not, by disabling the only panel displayed in a tab, the tab will disappear. To keep a tab visible you need a panel that is always visible, possibly by removing an existing poll() method.
