Origin Placement Tool Pro (Stop Wasting Hours on Manual Origin Placement - Watch Your Origins Move in REAL-TIME!)
Current version: 2.6 – New and Easy to use UI, Added Empty support, group Cube/Axis empties, improved Align to Floor and Place on Top
Origin Placement Tool v2.6 is a Blender add‑on designed to make origin management and object placement fast, precise, and production‑ready for scenes built from many separate meshes. It combines one‑click origin presets (top, center, bottom, corners, cursor) with support for Edit Mode origins, so you can drive the origin from any active vertex, edge, or face while keeping your modeling workflow intact.
The addon adds a live measurements panel that shows object width, depth, height, and distance from the floor, which is especially useful for product visualization and real‑world‑scale work.
It also understands parent empties: features like Align to Floor and Place on Top work with control empties by using the combined bounds of all their child meshes, letting you move whole assemblies as a single unit. For scene organization, the tool can generate helper empties in two modes. Axis and Cube empties can be created per object (using the “All Axis / All Cube” toggles) or as a single group empty that tightly bounds an entire selection or a multi‑mesh product. This makes it easy to rig control handles, create bounding boxes, and manage complex objects without manually building empties.
On top of that, an Origin Offset section lets you nudge the origin in X/Y/Z with real‑time feedback, then either apply that offset or reset back to the stored original position. Together, these features turn tedious origin fixes and object stacking into quick, repeatable operations that fit smoothly into a professional Blender workflow.
Main features:
- Origin controls (top/center/bottom/cursor/corners)
- Edit mode origin to active element
- Align to floor (works with parent Empties)
- Place on top (works with meshes and Empties)
- Measurements (dimensions + floor distance)
- Axis and Cube empties per-object or as a single group
- Origin offset with apply/reset
Origin Placement Tool v2.6 is a Blender addon that gives you fast, precise control over object origins and placement, especially for complex assets made of many meshes. It offers one‑click origin presets, live size and floor‑distance readouts, support for parent empties and grouped meshes, and smart Axis/Cube helper empties that can be created per object or for an entire assembled product.
