Collections Pie earns its spot in the superhive library as a focused, single-purpose add-on that keeps common collection operations behind one pie menu rather than manual outliner steps. That narrow scope suits anyone who reorganizes collections often.
Collections Pie is a Blender pie menu from Hard Surface Professor for working with collections in the outliner. It gathers a range of options for adding collections to specific parts of the outliner quickly, without doing the work by hand. The menu appears in the N panel.
Options include isolating all objects in the collection of the active selection, without needing to select them all first. You can add a collection within a collection, below it, or below the selection's parent collection. It can also move an object to the active selection's collection or to the active collection's parent collection, and it includes Blender's default collection menu at the top.
Collections Pie supports Blender 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, and is released under the GPL license. Installation is handled through the Preferences panel by selecting the Collections_Pie file. The same pie menu is also included in the developer's Modeler Pro modeling kit. Version 1.0 is the most recent release.
Collections Pie is best for blender users who organize objects into collections and want common outliner operations available from a pie menu in the N panel.
Collections Pie is completely free to download and use.
Collections Pie lists support for Blender 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, covering several release cycles from the 3.x series through the current 4.x line. If you run one of these versions, the pie menu is intended to work with your setup. For versions outside this range, or to confirm the latest supported build, check the developer's page before installing, since the details there reflect the most current compatibility information.
Collections Pie installs through Blender's Preferences panel: open Preferences and select the Collections_Pie file to add it. Once installed, the pie menu appears in the N panel, where its collection options are available. Documentation is included with the product, so if you need the exact file or setup steps, refer to that and the developer's page. This matches how Blender add-ons are typically added through the Preferences panel.
Collections Pie is listed as free here, and it's distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms and any pricing can change, so the developer's page is the place to confirm current details before you download. GPL covers how the add-on can be used and shared, which is common for Blender tools. For the most accurate and up-to-date licensing information, check directly with Hard Surface Professor.
Collections Pie can isolate all objects in the collection of the active selection without needing to select each of them first. Alongside isolation, the menu can add a collection within a collection, below it, or below the selection's parent collection, and move an object to the active selection's collection or the active collection's parent collection. Blender's default collection menu also sits at the top of the pie for quick access.
