Family is an addon for Blender with select, duplicate and delete operations in hierarchy

When you have multiple objects in hierarchies while modeling a huge scene, it becomes hard for you to select, duplicate or delete entire hierarchy fastly enough. For example, when you have a plate on a table, an apple on the plate, a worm on the apple while all of those are connected through parent-child relationships, how would you select, duplicate or delete all of them?

Normally you will have to perform `select similar`(Shift+G), check `extend` option, and after that you can perform any operation you intend to do on the hierarchy.

This plugin allows this complicated procedure to happen with just a single click.
