Select Pro

Huge Menace in Rigging


This small update brings Select Pro up to speed with Blender 5.2 LTS and 5.3 alpha. It also includes a minor improvement to how keybinds are registered and handled, along with a change that removes the need to reload scripts or restart Blender after modifying them.

Features

  • update the packaging process to include a universal platform build for extensions/repo usage

Bug Fixes

  • fix the edge boundary regression error when running in modal mode

Features

  • add a preference option to toggle the visibility of the configuration sidebar (independent of the operators panel)
  • add Flood Fill Select operator (supporting vertex, edge, and face mode)
  • add full support for Edit Lattice mode
  • add lattice Select Along Axis operator and associated predictions
  • add Pie menu option for all supported modes (replaces main menu)
  • add Select Constraint Target operator and associated predictions
  • add Select Modifier Object operator and associated predictions
  • add Select Parent/Child Armature & Pose mode operator (walks the hierarchy selecting individual bones or chains)
  • mass update all Select Pro operator idnames to show the right click "Assign Shortcut" option and better support custom keymaps

Bug Fixes

  • ensure that Smart Select Toggle works in multi-object edit scenarios (mesh, curve, armature, and pose)
  • fix regression in grow/shrink selection for naked/wire vertices and edges
  • fix the active edge is None error in the Select Similar Connected operator


Features

  • add a graceful error handling mechanism with a link to the support page

Bug Fixes

  • fix Pose mode selection saving and recalling (Blender 4/5 API differences)
  • fix Pose mode smart select toggle error (Blender 4/5 API differences)

Features

  • Add quad-continuation detection to Smart Edge Select to run Blender's native loop select over contiguous paths
  • Add Select Collection operator (select all objects in the collection or focus the collection root)
  • Add Select Similar Element operator (vertex, edge, and face) with associated predictions and double-click options
  • Add vertex, edge, and face loop (Blender native) options to the double-click dispatch
  • Add Smart Select Toggle (on by default), replacing the separate All and None pinned items
  • Add save and recall selections across all supported modes via the main menu
  • Convert edge boundary operator into a modal operator for interactive surface or open-ended boundary selection

Bug Fixes

  • Ensure lengths displayed in modal operators account for the None unit system (plain Blender units)
  • Fix null-selection bug with the Select Vertices by Proximity operator

Features

  • Add header and status bar text along with property keybinds for Grow/Shrink and Vertices by Proximity modal operators
  • Add improved grow/shrink and linked edges predictions for wire and boundary edges
  • Add new default Smart Edge Select double-click option (automatically pick the best operator based on the active edge's properties)
  • Add operator panel to the sidebar / N-panel containing all of Select Pro's custom operators
  • Add select similar face direction to face double-click options
  • Convert similar face direction to modal operator and add connected_only option (off by default)
  • Ensure the selection sensitivity of select vertices by proximity is consistent across different mesh scales
  • Improve contiguous path's edge scoring algorithm and add planarity weighting
  • Improve the boundary edge detection mechanism in contiguous path
  • Nativize and improve the contiguous edge path operator's performance, stability, and edge-scoring algorithm
  • Nativize and improve the face direction operator's performance
  • Nativize and improve the face island operator's performance
  • Nativize and improve the face surface operator's performance
  • Nativize and improve the grow/shrink operator's performance
  • Nativize and improve the vertices by proximity operator's performance
  • Rewrite the edge boundary operator improving selection across wire, naked, and manifold edges, including "smart surface" selection (boundary of surface under the mouse cursor)

Bug Fixes

  • Ensure that all mesh selection operators ignore hidden elements where appropriate
  • Ensure that double-click operator settings are only saved when the operator was invoked via double-click (ignore savable properties when invoked via the menu)
  • Ensure that hidden objects aren't included in the object mode analysis step
  • Fix the op_table edit mesh loop operators for Blender 5.2 (mesh.select_edge_loop_multi)
