Rotor earns its spot in the blender_extensions library as a focused mirror tool that keeps object mirroring down to a shortcut and a side pick, with a small footprint and no special permissions required.
Rotor is a mirror tool for Blender built by niewinny. It focuses on mirroring objects: press Alt X, or select it as the active tool, then pick the side you want to mirror along. Full documentation is available at rotor.ezelar.com.
Version 2.2.0 adds the ability to drop off the active tool with a right-click, cleans up the links in preferences, and sets the website in the toml. It is compatible with Blender 5.0 and newer, and requires no special permissions.
Rotor is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is listed here as free. It appears in the blender_extensions library, tagged under 3D View, Modeling and Mesh. Issues can be reported through the developer's Discord, and past versions are available from the developer's page for anyone on an earlier build.
Rotor is best for blender users looking for a quicker way to mirror objects.
Rotor is completely free to download and use.
Rotor is compatible with Blender 5.0 and newer, so it targets recent releases of the software rather than older builds. If you are on an earlier version, the developer's page lists past versions of the add-on that you can download instead. The extension is small, at around 69.7 KB, and requires no special permissions to run inside Blender. It can be added by dragging the downloaded file into Blender or installing it from disk.
Rotor keeps object mirroring to a couple of steps. You press Alt X, or select it as the active tool, and then pick the side you want to mirror along.
