Why we like it

Quick Location Popup stands out in the superhive library because it condenses X, Y, Z location editing into a single hotkey-triggered popup, with a one-click reset back to the original position.

What is Quick Location?

Quick Location Popup adds a popup menu to Blender for adjusting an object's location values without opening the sidebar or properties panel. The popup holds X, Y, and Z location sliders, and it works in Object Mode with any mesh, camera, light, or empty.

To use it, select an object in Object Mode and press the hotkey, which defaults to Shift+V, to open the popup. Adjust the X, Y, or Z sliders to reposition the object, then press Enter or click OK to confirm. The add-on remembers the object's original position, and a Reset button returns it to that location before changes with one click.

The hotkey is customizable from the add-on preferences, where you can set your key and choose any combination of Shift, Ctrl, and Alt. The add-on installs from the downloaded ZIP file through Blender's Add-ons preferences. It is compatible with Blender 2.80 and above and was fully tested in Blender 4.4, and it is released under the GPL license.

Who is Quick Location best for?

Quick Location is best for modelers, animators, and anyone making faster scene adjustments in Object Mode.

How much does Quick Location cost?

Quick Location is completely free to download and use.
