Why we like it

Iso Groups earns its place for keeping group creation, isolation, and color settings together in the N-Panel, with a built-in mini tutorial so the workflow is documented right where you use it.

What is Iso Groups?

Iso Groups is a Blender addon built around custom object groups. Select the parts you need, create a group with a custom name, then click Isolate to hide everything outside the active group. Group colors mark each set for visual clarity, and members can be added or removed in seconds.

The addon lives in Blender's N-Panel, keeping group creation, color settings, and isolation in one place. A Smart Selection option helps with picking objects, and tools to clean up empty groups and orphaned colors keep things tidy. A built-in mini tutorial walks through the steps inside the UI.

Iso Groups requires Blender 3.0 or higher and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with support for the Cycles and Eevee render engines. It's aimed at interior and architectural modelers, product designers, and anyone working in technical or dense scenes. The download comes as .zip addon files under the GPL license, with free updates, built-in documentation, and direct support from the developer.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Iso Groups work with?

Iso Groups requires Blender 3.0 or higher and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The developer's page lists compatibility with Blender 4.2 through 4.5, and the addon supports both the Cycles and Eevee render engines. If you're on a recent build of Blender on any of the three major operating systems, it should fit your existing setup, and you can confirm the current version range on the developer's page before installing.

How is Iso Groups delivered and where does it appear in Blender?

Iso Groups is delivered as addon files in .zip format, and once enabled it appears in Blender's N-Panel. The panel gathers group creation, membership, color settings, and the Isolate button in one place, and a built-in mini tutorial provides step-by-step instructions right inside the UI. You also get built-in documentation, so the tools for creating, isolating, and cleaning up groups are accessible without hunting through hidden menus or complicated setups.

Is Iso Groups free to use?

Iso Groups is listed as free here, and it's distributed under the GPL license. The developer includes free updates, built-in documentation, and direct support, so you can raise questions once you're using it. Because pricing and licensing can change over time, check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. What you receive is the addon in .zip format, ready to enable in Blender across the supported operating systems.

Does Iso Groups work with Cycles and Eevee?

Iso Groups works with both the Cycles and Eevee render engines in Blender. Its focus is organizing objects into custom groups and isolating them from the N-Panel: you create a group from a selection, hide everything outside the active group with one click, and use group colors for visual clarity. Managing members and cleaning up empty groups or orphaned colors happens in the same panel, whichever of the two engines you're working in.
