NKZ POST-IT3D · DOCUMENTATION

Everything you need, note by note

Install, place your first note, and keep every comment, issue and question organised on the model.

NKZ Post-it3D places sticky notes directly on the surface of your 3D models. Notes can be positioned anywhere on a surface, are visible in the viewport and are never rendered — a simple way to leave and collect feedback right on the model.

▸ Interactive Surface Placement — click on any 3D surface to place a note, aligned to the surface normal.

▸ Multiple Note Types — Comment, Issue, Suggestion and Question, each with its own icon and default colour.

▸ Note Management — create, edit, move, archive and delete notes.

▸ User System — track who wrote each note, with a personal colour per user.

▸ Smart Visibility — visible in the viewport, automatically hidden in renders.

▸ Persistent Storage — notes are saved automatically and persist between Blender sessions.

▸ Surface Alignment — notes orient themselves to match the surface they sit on.

▸ Filtering — filter by type or status, show or hide archived notes.

▸ Bulk Operations — delete all notes, or all notes of one type, with a confirmation dialog.
