Introduction

Welcome to the Git version of Pie Menus Plus! This page will host "volatile" releases of the add-on, although it is a very stable tool all around in its inherent simplicity.

If you are looking for stable full releases of the add-on, check out the Releases tab or head on over to the Gumroad product page linked below.

Made for industry artists

Pie menus are by far the most efficient way to interact within the Blender viewport. The built-in pie menu add-on is good, but it doesn't consider certain aspects of modern modeling workflows. There is a ton of extremely useful operators that deserve to exist within pies that are simply left out in the default and built-in add-on pies, forcing you to sift through dropdowns or use the operator search.

Built-in add-on integration

Some functionality is locked behind optional add-ons you can enable within Blender. This add-on attempts to fill some of the gaps where this extra functionality lacks pie support, while staying true a "vanilla" experience.

Non-intrusive default keymaps

Pie Menus Plus overlays keymaps over the standard Blender keymap configuration, meaning uninstalling will maintain the original keymaps. This add-on does not accommodate industry standard keymaps but you can use it at the minor risk of other keymaps becoming "conflicted".

Stability

Pie Menus Plus is fundamentally stable due to its inherent simplicity. It often does no more than convert existing operators into a digestible menu of contextually relevant functionality. The only functionality potentially considerable as unstable is the Extra Tools I tend to integrate into the add-on for larger QOL workflow improvements.

Extras

Pie Menus Plus is sort of my do-it-all add-on and as such has some extra goodies I've made that don't really have a home anywhere else, so I threw them in! Here are the important ones:

Extended origin and cursor manipulation

Most operators contained within the Origin / Cursor pie have access to the Copy Active Rotation tick within the Redo Panel of the operators.

Improved Separate

Added Remove Modifiers tick to the Redo Panel of the operator for situations where modifiers make separated objects completely unselectable in the 3D View.
