Quick Groups (Instances)

Group objects with Ctrl+G using instances.
Add-on by MultLabs
About What's New Reviews Version History
About the add-on

This add-on replaces Ctrl+G by its own functionality - creating groups using regular instances

In the add-on "Group" - it is an instance, that can be edited (in the scene called "Library") by pressing Tab

Keymap:

  • Ctrl+G - Make Group (Instance) from selected objects (F9 (adjust last operation) to set center of the group and set a name)

  • Tab - Opens group edit mode

  • Deselect everything and press Tab - Return to scene.

  • Ctrl+Alt+G - Ungroup

  • Ctrl+Shift+G - Advanced options like make single user, and change instance (Replace chair by another chair).

This add-on uses regular Blender instances, so you can send your blend file with "groups" made by this add-on, even if your co-worker haven't this add-on installed.

Excelent stuff, exactly what you would expect to happen in a normal modeling app, when you press CTRL + G. Coming from a CAD background, I've found extremely annoying the lack of such basic functionality. Thanks, author.

HOLY MOLY! And I wouldn't even use for grouping. It has always been such a pain to create collection instances, though the performance gains has always been so attractive. It is just such a soothe. Thank you so much! Hope blender implements sth similar natively, and hopefully sooner.
