Why we like it

PSelect earns its place in the Superhive library as a Blender-native selection manager aimed at rigging and scene management, now updated for Blender 5.0.

What is Pselect - Selection, Manage, Organize & Control?

PSelect is a Blender add-on from PTools for creating and managing custom selection sets for objects or bones. You can group your selections, color-code sets for visual feedback, and organize them in groups with import and export support. Sets can be renamed, reordered, or deleted at any time, and individual items added or removed as your scene changes.

Visibility control is handled through one-click toggling of single viewport visibility, along with isolate and hide options built on Local View logic. The add-on works in both Object and Pose mode, and selection presets can be saved to file and reloaded later. It runs on a clean, native Blender UI built for Blender 2.9 and up.

Recent updates add support for Blender 5.0, updated Pose Mode selection behavior for Blender 5.x compatibility, improved tooltips and UI text, and better extension reloading after re-enabling the add-on. A demo video is available.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does PSelect support?

PSelect is built for Blender 2.9 and up, and the listing indicates compatibility across versions 2.9 through 5.1. Recent updates added support for Blender 5.0, including updated Pose Mode selection behavior for Blender 5.x compatibility. It is distributed as a Blender add-on extension, with improved extension reloading after re-enabling the add-on. If you work in a recent Blender release, PSelect covers both older and current versions in this range.

Does PSelect work in both Object and Pose mode?

PSelect works in both Object and Pose mode, so you can build selection sets from objects as well as bones. This makes it suited to rigging and character work where you need to recall complex bone selections alongside object-level groups. Recent updates also refined the Pose Mode selection behavior for Blender 5.x compatibility, keeping the mode-switching workflow consistent across the supported Blender versions.

Can I save and share PSelect selection sets?

PSelect lets you save selection presets to file and reload them later, so your sets persist between sessions. It also supports organizing sets into groups with import and export, which allows you to move selection configurations as needed. Within the add-on you can rename, reorder, or delete sets at any time, and add or remove individual items from a set as your scene changes.

PSelect is listed as free in this catalog. It is released under the GPL license and distributed as a Blender add-on extension by PTools.
