Why we like it

Every button in this add-on packs two or more functions, and it can act on groups without switching mode or setting a group active — a compact approach that earns its place in the Superhive library.

What is Popup Vertex Group?

Popup Vertex Group brings vertex group operations into a popup window for Blender. From that window you can search or run multiple searches for the vertex groups you want, then lock or unlock, add or delete, set active, rename, copy, and move them. Vertices can be assigned, removed, selected or deselected, and every button carries two or more functions.

The add-on lets you work without changing mode and without setting a vertex group as active first. It handles bones alongside vertex groups: you can rename or delete a vertex group together with its bone, find and rename groups, and rename entries under another language name with a click. When you attempt to delete or rename a vertex group bound to a bone, it warns you first, though you can proceed with the bone if you choose. Delete and rename support multiple armatures.

Installation follows the standard Blender add-on process via Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install, selecting the provided zip file. A demo video is available, and the developer invites bug reports and feature requests by email.
