🚀 Car Placement Helper – Documentation

This product includes a sci-fi Blender scene preset and a custom add-on that simplifies the placement of a car and related scene objects using a set of empties and auto-alignment features.

📦 What's Included

• A ready-to-use .blend file with a space environment

• Built-in empties for positioning (car, wheels, headlight)

• Custom add-on for:

  • Auto-placing the car at the right position

  • Auto-aligning empties to car parts

  • Renaming helper objects

  • Inverting orientation for directional tweaks

  • Toggling viewport visibility of background elements

🔧 How to Use

1. Install Add-on (if not already loaded)
   Open the Text Editor tab and run the script OR install it from Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install.

2. Set Object Names (if needed):
   Select each object and use the rename buttons to assign:

   • car_postition (empty that gets positioned)

   • car_mesh (your actual car model)

   • wheel_L, headlight_L (helpers)

3. Use the Add-on Tools (Sidebar > Car Tools):

   • ✅ Auto Move Car to Position — Moves car_postition to car position empty

   • ✅ Auto Move Empties — Moves empties to match the named parts

   • ✅ Invert Car Orientation — Rotates the car position empty (Z +180°, X -45°)

   • ✅ Frame Car & Empties — Centers camera on key elements

   • ✅ Toggle Astroids — Hides/unhides background mesh in viewport only

📌 Note: Some actions (like moving empties) may require clicking twice depending on your Blender version or scene state.
