Why we like it
QuickMenu earns its place in the blender_extensions library by grouping frequent object, modifier, camera, and rendering actions into one panel set, with version 2.0.0 adding Quick Origin Setup and 3D Cursor alignment for newly added objects.
What is QuickMenu?
QuickMenu gathers several time-saving panels into one Blender add-on from QiuMu. Quick-Add provides 8 buttons for common objects and modifiers, working alongside Quick-Mod. Newly added objects align their position and rotation to the 3D Cursor, and Grease Pencil entries have been removed from Quick-Add.
Quick Origin Setup adds a shortcut for setting an object's origin in both Object Mode and Edit Mode. Quick-Cam follows a what-you-see-is-what-you-get approach, adsorbing the camera to the current perspective including focal length and resolution when creating or aligning. A Render Visibility button synchronises the rendering visibility of all objects and modifiers in one click so rendered results match the view.
The Display panel adjusts wireframe display and color and collects common model-adjustment functions such as face orientation, film transparency, and reset flip normal. The interface is available in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and French. Released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, it is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer.
Who is QuickMenu best for?
QuickMenu is best for blender artists who want quicker access to creating objects and modifiers, setting origins, aligning cameras, and syncing render visibility.
How much does QuickMenu cost?
QuickMenu is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions
Does QuickMenu work with Blender 4.2?
QuickMenu is listed as compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it targets recent Blender releases rather than older builds. It installs as an extension and requires no special permissions. If you run a version outside that range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility notes, since the add-on has been updated over time. The listing here reflects version 2.0.0, and confirming the version against your Blender install helps avoid mismatches before you rely on it in a project.
What license is QuickMenu released under?
QuickMenu is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It is listed here as free, and the GPL v3-or-later terms cover how you can use, modify, and redistribute it. For current licensing details or any changes tied to newer versions, refer to the developer's page. The add-on also states that it requires no special permissions, which keeps its footprint within Blender straightforward.
How do I install QuickMenu in Blender?
QuickMenu can be added by dragging and dropping the add-on directly into Blender, or by downloading it and using Install from Disk. Both methods bring the extension into your Blender preferences. After installation, its panels for Quick-Add, Quick-Mod, Quick Origin Setup, Quick-Cam, render visibility, and display adjustments become available. If you prefer the manual route, the Install from Disk option in Blender's extension preferences handles the packaged file.
Does QuickMenu require special permissions?
QuickMenu requires no special permissions, according to its listing. That means it does not request additional access beyond what a standard Blender extension needs to run. You can install it by drag and drop or from disk and use its object, modifier, camera, rendering, and display tools without granting anything extra. For the most current details, the developer's page is the place to check.
