Why we like it

Save Selections earns its place for turning repeated selections into reusable, named sets across VEF, object, and armature work. The version 1.1 armature category extends it to rigging, and GPL licensing with available documentation keeps it straightforward to adopt.

What is Save Selections?

Save Selections is a Blender add-on from 3DPRS for storing, managing, and reusing the selections you make while working. It covers VEF mode, meaning vertex, edge, and face selections, along with object selection sets, so a single tool handles both mesh-level and object-level selection work.

Saved selections can carry custom icons for easy identification, and multiple objects can be stored together as one set. Recalling a selection takes a single click, renaming is done with a double-click, and each set can be updated through the refresh icon or removed with a single click. Version 1.1 adds an armature selection category for saving rigging selections.

The add-on is compatible with Blender versions 4.0 through 5.1 and is distributed under the GPL license. It is marked as a Blender extension, and documentation along with a demo video are available. It fits artists and designers who want a faster, more organized way to work with selections in Blender across modeling, rigging, and scene management.

Who is Save Selections best for?

Save Selections is best for modeling, rigging, and scene management in Blender, where artists repeatedly work with the same vertex, edge, face, object, or armature selections.
