TURN ANY ASSEMBLY INTO A KNOLLING SHOT

POINT IT AT A COLLECTION, PRESS ARRANGE

Every part is turned onto its resting face and packed onto one even grid, with identical parts together under one numbered tag.

• Flat or Upright: parts lie on their biggest face or stand on end
• Groups identical parts: by shape or by material
• Shadow board: a filled silhouette or a clean outline
• Numbered tags: number, name or both, with a ×N count
• Keeps modules whole: a kitbash block stays assembled under one tag
• Several collections: each with its own surface and settings
• Live sliders: width, padding and rotation re-pack as you drag
• Exact Reset: everything goes back where it was

ASSEMBLY IN, FLAT LAY OUT

Your objects keep their collections, materials and names, and Reset puts every one back.

EVERY PART SQUARED UP THE SAME WAY

Flat lays each part on its biggest face. Upright stands it on its smallest, longest side up. Each part is squared up from its own geometry, so copies from a STEP import all face the same way.

COPIES COUNTED FOR YOU

Parts that share a mesh, or have the same geometry at the same size, count as one type with one tag and a quantity. That includes CAD imports, where every part arrives as its own mesh.

A Row Per Type gives each type its own row, Align In Columns lines parts up down the columns too, Match Identical Materials groups by material, and Show One Of Each turns the board into a catalogue.

ONE CELL, ONE TAG, ONE MODULE

Tick Keep Sub-Collections Whole or Keep Parented Parts Whole and a kitbash block or a gearbox is laid out assembled, with one cell, one tag and one outline. Modules on an empty are squared to that empty with their rotation zeroed, and identical modules count like any other part: Module A ×12.

FILL OR OUTLINE

Fill is a solid silhouette of the part, holes and all. Outline keeps only the outer contour, and Line Width changes live. Hide Parts takes every part off the board and leaves the marks.

NUMBER, NAME, OR BOTH

A rounded plate beside each part type shows the number, the name, or both as 3. Bracket ×2. Size and colours are yours, tags never overlap a part, and they render in Eevee and Cycles.

TWO BOARDS IN ONE SCENE

Add a collection with + and it gets its own surface, settings, tags and numbering. Arrange, Reset and Export work on the highlighted row and leave the others alone.

THE LAYOUT FOLLOWS THE PLANE

Pick any object as the Surface and the parts land on top of it, tilted or not. Table Width, Padding and Rotation re-pack live as you drag.

WHAT IS ON THE TABLE, IN A FILE

Export writes Number, Part Name, Quantity as a CSV and a plain-text copy, both matching the tags in the render.

316 PARTS, UNDER FOUR SECONDS

A 316-part CNC machine lays out in about 3.7 s the first time and 0.13 s after that. FlatFlow only moves objects: no mesh is edited, nothing is renamed, and Reset puts everything back exactly.
