Place Helper

An add-on for efficient placement of objects（One handed placement, dynamic physical placement, and dragging to copy along the axis）

Move Pro（Place）

01 The revolution of 3D software - objects can rotate simultaneously while moving.

Almost all 3D software Move and Rotate are two separate tools, but this does not conform to the logic of the real world, as we rotate objects simultaneously when placing them. This means that you are using the most basic yet tedious functions every day, and now it's time to get rid of them

Shortcut keys: After entering the tool, drag with the left button to move, and the scroll wheel can rotate (Ctrl=smaller angle, Alt=larger angle)

Extra tips：Select an object, press and shake the mouse directly in the new position, and the object will appear directly in the new position. (Inspired by Red Alert 2: Chrono Legionnair）.

02 Quick Copy

Select an object, hold down Shift and press the left button at a certain position to shake it, and a new copy will be generated at this position.

03 Anti insertion detection

When the mobile model intersects, boundary markers will appear.

Transform Pro

Hold down Shift and drag the axis Gizmo to copy along the axis. Note that this also applies to editing mode, just like C4D.

Dynamic Place(Real time physical placement)

01 Drag Mode

Select one or more objects and drag the axis to generate real-time physical simulation effects. Unselected objects will become collision objects.

02 Scale Mode

Unlike Drag, Scale simulates attractive/repulsive forces from the center, in order to scatter or gather objects

Note: Active and passive objects can be placed in a collection to block other objects and improve performance. Special note: Just like other simulation programs, excessive computation may cause lag or even crashes

The End

Like Simple Deform Helper, this is a tool that has been planned for development since 2022. Officially open sourced and released in 2023. Thank you to our friends who have always helped us. Without you, it wouldn't have appeared. Meanwhile, if you feel any problems with the English description, please feel free to contact me on GitHub. I hope to make improvements as soon as possible.
