GENERAL INFORMATION

The addon it´s designed to provide several tools for speed your workflow on viewport display related tasks and interaction with multiple objects at once in blender.

The addon works in two ways:

  • Applies on your selected objects.
  • Applies on all objects if you don´t have any selection.

The main features of the addon are:

  • Fast Navigate : Modal operator to display wireframe / Bounding Box based display while you are orbiting/panning/zooming and doing common operations in viewport. Very similar of fast navigate for sculpt.
  • Display tools : Tools for change the object´s display type for viewport.
  • Shading Setup : Tools to do batch changes on objects display properties like setting smooth / flat shading, disable double-sided, switch to shadeless / normal material, wireframe and bounds extra overlay and x-ray visualisation.
  • Scene Visualization : Unified scene visualization tools. A combination of global display properties that you can access on "N" Panel and scene simplification tools from scene tab, all can be access directly from toolshelf.
  • Modifier Tools : Tools for batch operations related to modifiers, like activate, deactivate, expand, collapse, apply and delete all selected object modifiers at once.
    A tool to put a dummy simple deform modifier for improve a bug/bad behaviour on viewport performance when you have subsurf modifier active on viewport.
