5. Organize and Rename

1. Once both lists are filled, click Assign High/Low Poly Names.

2. PolyLinker will automatically match the objects based on proximity and rename them accordingly.

6. Clear and Remove Lists

• If you need to start over, use the Clear Low Poly List and Clear High Poly List buttons.

• You can also remove specific objects from the lists by selecting them and clicking Remove Selected from List.

Error Handling

• If you try to rename an object that has been deleted or renamed outside the addon, PolyLinker will notify you with an error message, allowing you to resolve the issue without confusion.

How it works:

Proximity-Based Matching:

• The addon calculates the distance between the center points of objects to find the closest pairs. This means it does not require objects to be in exactly the same position but rather close to each other within a certain distance.

Naming Process:

• Once pairs are determined based on proximity, the addon renames the objects according to the specified custom name you set, adding _low and _high suffixes according to their relative.

This addon is compatible with Blender 2.8.0+

PATCH NOTES:

[v1.0.0]

• I decided to release my little personal addon to the public (I have been using this addon for my personal projects for my specific uses cases, maybe it has bugs that I haven't found yet, if you find something that breaks the polylinker you can tag me on Twitter @konehonofficial showing your problem and I will try to solve it)

[v1.0.1]

• Added console message feedback when completing the renaming process
