Gavo earns its place in the Superhive library for pairing proximity vertex selection with autoloader tools for naming and assigning vertex groups and modifiers.
Gavo - Grab Any Vertex Selection By Proximity is an addon for Blender that focuses on vertex proximity selection and controls. Starting from a vertex or verts you select, proximity controls let you select or deselect groups of vertices, and you can grab any vert by its index number. Selected and deselected indices are shown through a dynamic display.
The addon includes autoloader tools for assigning vertex groups and modifiers. You can name a group and auto-assign it with one button. At the top of the addon you choose a modifier and name it, then load the group into your modifier from a drop-down list. The layout is kept simple for ease of use.
Gavo is published by Mr. Steve 3D and carries a GPL license. Documentation is provided, and Discord help is available if you need it. A demo video is available. The developer notes that more updates will come.
Gavo - Grab Any Vertex Selection By Proximity is best for blender users who need proximity-based vertex selection and want to assign named vertex groups and modifiers.
Gavo - Grab Any Vertex Selection By Proximity is completely free to download and use.
Gavo - Grab Any Vertex Selection By Proximity lists support for Blender versions 4.1, 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, and 3.3. If you are working in one of these versions you should be covered by the addon.
