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
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.
Add walkaround for issue https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/125335
This extension does not require special permissions.
Is there a way to change the size of the created default gizmo? I am working on small models and that cross is gigantic.
Go to Blender preferences, Editing tab, New objects -> Instance Empty size
The addon is incredibely useful for working with game assets and scenes. The only issue is that its default "tab" binding doesn't work nicely when using "Tab for Pie Menu" setting, and need to be unbound. I can get around it by using ctrl+shift+g, but It would be very useful to instead get the "edit instance" operator in the tab pie menu.
awesome
