Outliner Organizer

The Outliner Organizer panel provides options to organize objects in the outliner by creating collections for different object types. Users can specify which types of objects to organize and customize the organization process.

By default, it creates collections for all object types. However, users can customize this behavior by selecting specific object types using the dropdown menu on the panel.

You can specify the following object types for organization:

• Meshes
• Cameras
• Light
• Curves
• Images
• Texts
• Empty
• Volumes
• Light Probes
• Speakers

Additionally, you can select the "Custom" option to specify multiple object types by checking the respective items. This allows for a more tailored organization process based on specific project requirements.

Additional Tools

• Delete Empty Collections: This button deletes empty collections from the scene.
• Reset Object Numbers: This operator resets the numbers of items in the outliner, ensuring consistent numbering.

Mesh Organize

The Mesh Organize panel allows users to group mesh objects based on their names into new or existing collections. Users can choose the case conversion, assign random collection colors, and specify the target collection for grouping.

The case conversion option allows you to specify how the names of the created collections should be formatted. You can choose from the following options:

• None: No case conversion is applied.
• Upper Case: Convert the names to uppercase.
• Lower Case: Convert the names to lowercase.
• Title Case: Convert the names to title case (capitalize the first letter of each word).
• Capitalize: Capitalize the first letter of each name.

The target collection option allows you to specify the destination collection for grouping mesh objects. This option is optional, meaning you can choose not to select a target collection if it's unnecessary for your workflow. If you do choose a target collection, mesh objects will be grouped into that collection. If left unselected, Groupify Pro will create new collections for grouped mesh objects.

Enabling the "Assign random collection color" option adds a visually appealing touch to your collections by randomly assigning colors to them. Each collection will be assigned a unique color tag, making it easier to differentiate between collections in the outliner.

Batch Rename

The Batch Rename panel provides comprehensive tools to efficiently apply batch renaming to objects or collections based on user-defined settings. With options to customize the naming format, separator, case conversion, and more, this feature streamlines the renaming process for enhanced workflow efficiency.

You can choose to rename all objects or only selected objects. The "Auto" option is available for renaming all objects based on the collection name.

Configuration Options:

• Name: Specify the desired name for the objects or collections being renamed.
• Numbering Format: Choose the format for numbering the objects:
• 1: Numbering without leading zeros (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, ...).
• 01: Numbering with one leading zero (e.g., 01, 02, 03, 04, ...).
• 001: Numbering with two leading zeros (e.g., 001, 002, 003, 004, ...).
• Separator: Select the character to separate words in the renamed objects or collections:
• None: No separator.
• Space: Space separator.
• Period: Period separator.
• Hyphen: Hyphen separator.
• Underscore: Underscore separator.
• Case: Choose the desired case for the object or collection names:
• None: No case conversion applied.
• Upper Case: Convert names to uppercase.
• Lower Case: Convert names to lowercase.
• Title Case: Convert names to title case (capitalize the first letter of each word).
• Capitalize: Capitalize the first letter of each name.

The panel provides a real-time preview of how the renamed objects or collections will appear based on the selected configuration settings.

Auto Mode

The "Auto" mode automatically renames objects based on the collection name. For optimal results, use this function after employing the Mesh Organize function for better organization and coherence in your Blender projects.

Popover

Accessible directly from the Outliner header, the Groupify Popover offers convenient access to all the functionality available in the Groupify panel. This popover serves as an alternative interface to the panel, providing an efficient and accessible way to manage collections, organize objects, and perform batch renaming tasks. With its seamless integration into the Outliner header, the Groupify Popover enhances workflow efficiency and ease of use.

Preference

You can customize the appearance and behavior of the Groupify panel category from the Preferences menu. This feature is particularly helpful when there are numerous addons in the sidebar, allowing you to organize and prioritize the visibility of the Groupify panel. You have the flexibility to add the Groupify panel to an existing category or create a new category tailored to your workflow preferences.
