Why we like it

Attribute Manager earns a place in the Superhive library by adapting a familiar spreadsheet workflow to Blender's attribute editing, with expression support and per-mode filtering.

What is Attribute Manager?

Attribute Manager brings spreadsheet-style attribute editing to Blender. Rather than moving through multiple panels and changing values one at a time, it presents selected attributes in a scrollable, resizable table where you can edit values in rows and columns with direct input and instant updates. It supports batch editing dozens or hundreds of elements at once, and cell values can be set using expressions with arithmetic operations and the Python math module.

The add-on offers multiple edit modes for Vertex, Edge, Face, Face Corner and Object work, letting you switch to edit exactly what you need. Attribute filtering lets you choose which attributes to display, with different attribute sets per mode. In Object mode it filters by object type and applies attribute categories per type, currently supporting Mesh, Light, Camera and Empty objects, plus a Modifier mode. Visual aids include viewport mesh indices, vertex weights shown as gradients, and setting the active element when selecting a row.

Attribute Manager is Python-based with no external dependencies. Full online documentation is available in English and Japanese, and the add-on is released under the GPL-3.0 license.

Who is Attribute Manager best for?

Attribute Manager is best for artists, technical artists and addon-savvy users doing bulk attribute cleanup, look-dev and scene optimization in Blender.

How much does Attribute Manager cost?

Attribute Manager is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Attribute Manager work with Blender 4.0?

Attribute Manager supports Blender 4.0, 5.0 or later. It runs on Windows and macOS and is Python-based with no external dependencies, so there is nothing extra to install alongside it. After installation the interface appears in the 3D View sidebar, opened with the N key, under an Attribute Manager tab. Because it targets these specific Blender versions, check that your build falls within the supported range before installing to ensure the add-on loads and functions as intended.

How do I install Attribute Manager in Blender?

Attribute Manager installs from a ZIP file. Download the ZIP, open Blender, then go to Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install…, select the ZIP file, and enable Attribute Manager. Once enabled, the interface appears in the 3D View sidebar, accessed by pressing N, under the Attribute Manager tab. The add-on is Python-based with no external dependencies, so no additional libraries or setup steps are required beyond enabling it in the Add-ons preferences.

Can Attribute Manager edit values using expressions?

Attribute Manager supports expression-based editing. You can apply a value to all rows using arithmetic operations, and the expression field supports the Python math module. This lets you set or update cell values across many elements at once rather than entering them individually. Combined with batch operations, which apply one value to all rows, expressions are aimed at normalizing or unifying attributes and handling large-scale adjustments within the spreadsheet-style table.

Is Attribute Manager free, and what license does it use?

Attribute Manager is listed as free in this catalog. It is released under the GPL-3.0 license, which means you may study and modify the code, and share it within your team or studio, while any redistribution must follow the GPL terms. For current licensing details and any updates to how the add-on is distributed, refer to the developer's page before use.
