Arq. Gustavo Garcia ARCHSParametric Pilot is a Blender add-on focused on precision pivot control, alignment, and interactive object placement. Built for 3D artists, riggers, and technical users, it offers a real-time parametric system to move, align, and visualize pivots and object origins with accuracy. With multiple alignment modes, customizable visual guides, and broad geometry support, it streamlines workflows that rely on careful object manipulation.
Key features:
• Precision Pivot Placement: Allows accurate placement of object pivots using multiple alignment methods, snapping systems, and orientation tools.
• Multi-Geometry Support: Works across multiple selected objects, enabling batch placement and alignment operations.
• Alignment Methods: Supports normal-based, edge-based, global Z, object axes, and view-based alignment to accommodate various modeling and rigging needs.
• Visual Feedback: Displays customizable visual guides including XYZ axis indicators and orientation circles for interactive pivot editing.
• 3D Cursor Integration: Moves the 3D cursor to calculated positions and supports manual fine-tuning with drag and arrow keys.
• Origin Control: Enables repositioning of object origins with preview options before confirming the transformation.
• Interactive Controls: Provides real-time adjustment tools with on-screen feedback for iterative precision modeling.
• Pie Menu Access: Includes a Shift+S pie menu for fast access to placement and alignment functions.
• Multi-Language Support: Offers interface localization in English, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese.
• GPU-Based Rendering: Uses GPU acceleration to draw overlays and guides efficiently within the viewport.
• Custom Properties: Utilizes custom Blender properties and BMesh geometry manipulation for non-destructive interaction.
• Dynamic Translation System: Adapts interface labels to the active language dynamically for international teams.
• 3D Raycasting: Employs raycasting to detect mesh surfaces and enable responsive object positioning during modeling or setup tasks.
