Outliner Pro

by 3DArs in Addons


Outliner Pro is a set of tools for Blender’s Outliner that makes managing objects and collections way easier. It helps you organize and visualize models and collections clearly. 

This release introduces exciting new features that that will speed up your workflow and there's even more to come in the future.


Key features:

  • Move objects and collections easily. No more endless scrolling and dragging to add objects to faraway collections and having to select all the hierarchy.
  • Create and move to active. Similar to the above, but it creates a collection first and then moves the objects into it.
  • Sync Colors by Collection. Great for quickly distinguishing objects based on their collections.
  • Sync active object in the outliner. Stop wasting time searching for an object in the Outliner or viewport by keeping it centered automatically.
  • Match viewport visibility to render's. Avoid losing time trying to find that elusive object that only shows up in the render.
  • Quick rename by collection. Rename a group of objects effortlessly without wasting time (this is only for the lazy)

Advantages:

  • Alternate behaviors by ALT or CTRL or Shift click over the button. You can send objects and their children, parents and siblings or only selected.
    • If you have lots of objects in the outliner, it helps you to reduce the amount of scrolling on the list.
