Groupify gathers outliner organization, mesh grouping and batch renaming into a single Blender add-on, with a popover in the Outliner header for quick access. Version 1.2 rewrote the code and added selective organization.

What is Groupify - Outliner Organizer?

Groupify - Outliner Organizer is a Blender add-on from Jishnu Jithu built to arrange objects and collections and keep the outliner clean and tidy. It groups meshes into collections, batch renames objects and organizes items in the outliner, which helps when managing complex scenes.

The add-on lets you choose specific objects for batch renaming and outliner organization, and change the case to lowercase, uppercase, title case or capitalize during batch renaming and mesh grouping. It can assign random colors to collection icons when grouping meshes, reset the numerical suffix on a name such as the .001 in Cube.001, and show a label with the number of objects set for renaming. A popover in the Outliner header, next to the Create Collection button, gives quick access to all settings, and the panel category can be changed through the add-on preferences.

Groupify runs across Blender versions from 2.83 through 4.3 and is released under the GPL license. A demo video is available. It earns its place in the superhive library for combining outliner organization, mesh grouping and batch renaming in a single add-on.
