Blender Grouping
Finally Predictable
Max Group brings the fast, direct feeling of 3ds Max-style grouping into Blender. Select complete assemblies with one click, navigate nested groups naturally, and reach any individual object without rebuilding your scene hierarchy.
THE COMPLETE WORKFLOW
Hover. Click. Select. Transform.
No setup objects. No collection conversion. No repeated box selection. Max Group adds a clean grouping layer to the scene you already built.
FAST WHEN YOU WANT IT. PRECISE WHEN YOU NEED IT.
Selection That Understands Group Depth
Use normal clicks for complete groups, modifier clicks for a specific nested level, and direct object selection when you need to adjust a single member.
MOVE
The target group appears only when relevant, keeping crowded scenes readable.
ALT + LMB
Bypass the group temporarily and adjust exactly the object you intended.
POWERFUL NESTED GROUPING
Complex Assemblies Without Complex Navigation
Build groups inside groups, open them one level at a time, or jump directly to the innermost group. The selection state stays understandable at every depth.
3D VISUAL FEEDBACK
Bounding Boxes That Belong in the Scene
Perspective-correct 3D boxes reveal group boundaries without flattening the viewport. Nested levels automatically expand to prevent overlapping edges.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE BY DESIGN
Your Collections Stay Exactly Where They Are
Max Group adds selection behavior without converting collections, creating Empty objects, or changing parent relationships. Existing scene organization remains intact.
BUILT FOR REAL WORK
More Than Viewport Selection
Transform, duplicate, join, apply, append, link, and manage complex groups while Max Group repairs and preserves the relationships that matter.

Every shortcut is editable through Blender's native KeyMap system.
