    This is a really useful add-on, and I would definitely recommend it. I need to move origins all the time, so this is a great help to do that easily and quickly. The addon works fine for me in Blender 2.93.1.

    The latest version (2.2) has received a couple of improvements that I personally like a lot. For example, I very much like the fact that the Bbox doesn't need to be switched off again after you use it, but automatically disappears, which really makes a lot of sense, and the big dots have been replaced with much more slick-looking cross-hairs. 2.2 looks more polished overall. I usually use the pie menu, which is well designed and my favourite way of working with Pivot Transform.

    Pivot Flow, although it seems to work better than in previous versions, still is a bit weird. I often have problems selecting certain faces, for example, and I don't have a clue why. I wish it were more predictable/reliable. Having said that, I don't consider this a big drawback as I usually rely on other functions of Pivot Transform.

    What really needs improvement is the written documentation, which is outdated and incomplete, and therefore not very helpful. The same goes for the videos on YouTube that are/used to be online.

    In particular - and this, in my humble opinion, goes for a lot of plugin developers - it would really, really help if people talked in their videos instead of just using background music and doing time-lapse "demos". I'm not new to 3D, but to Blender, and learning how to use Pivot Transforms could have been much less painful and less time-consuming. Putting more effort into that, and explaining the tool to people in an understandable manner bearing in mind that not everyone has used Blender for the last 20 years would make it a lot more fun to learn add-ons like this one.

    Other than that, I'm happy I found this plugin, and now that I figured out (more or less) how most of the things work, I wouldn't want to miss it from my tool set.

    A must have. For me as a former 3ds Max user a indispensable tool. Dankeschön :)

    Hello, thank you for this very useful tool, it speeds up my workflow.

    I have a small question: is there a similar function as "To Bottom" to quickly set the pivot to the TOP? So far I used the BBox for this, but maybe there is another shortcut for this?

    Looking forward to your feedback =)

      Thank you for your feedback. To move to the extreme points, I just created BBoox. It works exactly the same as Pivot To Bottom. I just don't want to create a large number of buttons with little functionality. Although I understand that sometimes you just want to press one button. I'll think of ways to improve your experience.

    I say this usually very very rarely but this plugin is a absolut must have! It's a huge time saver plus unlike many other plugins we get constant udates and new features.

    The Pivot Flow tool is a really nice addition. And the ability to save pivot locations and rotations is such a life saver when you have lots of objects that interact with each other. Great add-on.

      thank you very much my friend. your contribution to improving the translation of the addon into English is also great. I hope to improve a lot in future updates thanks to your advice).

    Absolutely essential addon for anyone working in game development and requiring perfect control over pivot transforms. The dev keeps improving his addon and has been very helpful with my questions so far. Highly recommended.

    So far so good! Question here, do you plan to add Pivot adjusting in Edit Mode, how it's in maya?

      Hi, thank you for such a high rating. If you mean moving the pivot using a 3D manipulator, then I do not plan to implement this because of the approach of working with the pivot displacement inside the blender(it is tied to the object Mode). But I started implementing a certain mode of working with a pivot like in Maya. I can't say that I will release it soon.
