SAVING AN ASSET

Save one object, multiple objects, or a complete hierarchy from the viewport.

Quick drag-and-save

  1. Enter Object Mode.
  2. Select the objects you want to save.
  3. Hold Shift + Alt + Left Mouse Button.
  4. Drag the selection into the Storage drop zone.
  5. Release the mouse button to save the asset.

Blender Stash automatically creates a preview and adds the asset to your visual library.

PLACING AN ASSET

Bring a fresh editable copy into the current scene.

01 · OPEN

Click the compact Storage button in the viewport.

02 · FIND

Find the asset using its preview, folder, or search.

ORGANIZING YOUR LIBRARY

Manage your asset library without leaving Blender.

Create Folders

Press the + button to create a new category for your assets.

Move Assets

Drag an asset onto a folder to move it into that category.

Search and Rename

Search assets by name and rename them directly inside Blender Stash.

All Assets displays your complete library. Unsorted contains assets that have not been moved into a custom folder.

DELETING ASSETS AND FOLDERS

Remove stored assets safely with a confirmation warning.

  1. Open the Storage tray.
  2. Select an asset or custom folder.
  3. Press Delete.
  4. Review the warning and confirm the deletion.

Removed assets are moved into a recoverable .trash directory. All Assets and Unsorted cannot be deleted.

CONTROLS

Quick controls for the Storage interface.

SHIFT + ALT + LMB

Drag selected objects into Storage.

CTRL + ALT + H

Hide or show the Storage button.

DELETE

Delete the selected asset or custom folder.

Use Move Dock to reposition the compact Storage control inside the viewport.

WHAT BLENDER STASH SAVES

Blender Stash keeps the important parts of your reusable asset together.

Objects

Selected objects, descendants, transforms, and parent-child relationships.

Appearance

Materials, supported file-based textures, modifiers, and Geometry Nodes dependencies.

Dependencies

Armatures, current poses, constraints, required objects, and instanced collections.

STORAGE AND BACKUPS

Blender Stash stores your asset library locally in a folder you control. The storage location can be changed in the add-on preferences.

Each asset is stored independently with its Blender file, preview, and copied textures. To create a backup, copy the complete Blender Stash storage folder.

CURRENT LIMITATIONS

  • Assets must be saved from Object Mode.
  • Linked library objects should be made local before saving.
  • Movie, image sequence, and UDIM textures are not copied automatically yet.
  • Renaming an asset does not rename its internal Blender collection.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The Storage button is missing

Press Ctrl + Alt + H and confirm that Blender Stash is enabled in Blender Preferences.

An asset cannot be saved

Make sure Blender is in Object Mode, an object is selected, and the storage folder is writable.

A linked object cannot be saved

Make the linked object local before adding it to Blender Stash.

A texture is missing

Confirm that the original texture exists as a file on disk. Movie, sequence, and UDIM textures are not copied automatically.
