Bone Eyedropper

Overview

The BoneEyedropper add-on allows users to easily select bones in an armature using a eyedropper tool. This tool is especially useful for selecting bones directly in the 3D view and setting up property for the constraint.

Features

• Bones within the constraint target armature can be selected.
• The bone closest to the mouse cursor is selected. (Yes, I mean, it's named "Eyedropper", but you don't have to actually hover the cursor exactly over the bones)
• Visual feedback with a highlighted bone name and location in 3D view.

Note

• The only bones that can be selected with the eyedropper are Armatures that are set as the target of the constraint.
• Bones can only be selected from the 3D View.

How to use

• Right-click on a Bone(subtarget or pole_subtarget property) in the Object/Bone constraint and select Bone Eyedropper from the menu.
• In the 3D Viewport, click on the bone you want to select.
• While holding down the Shift key, hidden bones are also explored.
• The selected bone will be set as the property of the constraint.

Known Issues

• In the edge case, there will be a slight discrepancy between the preview and B-bone shape
