Why we like it

A focused, single-purpose addon that streamlines adding basic meshes through an Alt + Q pie menu in both object and edit mode.

What is Quick Add Objects?

Quick Add Objects is a small, lightweight Blender addon focused on adding the most commonly used basic meshes without extra steps. Rather than navigating standard menus, you press Alt + Q from the layout tab to open a pie menu and pick the object you want to add.

The addon works in both object mode and edit mode, so a new mesh can be dropped into the scene without switching contexts. It covers most commonly used meshes and is aimed at reducing the number of clicks required to add a new object.

Installation follows Blender's standard process: download the zip file, open the Add-ons tab in Blender's user preferences, click Install, select the zip file, and enable the addon by checking the box next to its name. A video tutorial is available and includes detailed installation steps alongside a demonstration of how the addon is used. Documentation is also provided.
