AltView – Instant 3D View Switching in Blender with One Hotkey

AltView is a Blender add-on that allows you to instantly switch between 200 predefined views, including standard (front, top, left) and diagonal angles.
Ideal for users of 3DConnexion devices.

🔹 How It Works?

  • First Press:
    🔹 Switches the camera to the nearest predefined orthographic view.
    🔹 Enables orthographic mode.
    🔹 Locks rotation to prevent accidental perspective changes.

  • Second Press:
    🔹 Unlocks rotation.
    🔹 Restores perspective mode.

🎯 Why Is It Useful?

AltView makes navigation in Blender faster and more convenient, eliminating the need to manually adjust view angles. It improves precision and workflow efficiency, making scene orientation effortless.
