Why we like it

Select Pro earns its place in the superhive catalog by pulling Blender's scattered selection commands into a single context-aware menu and layering new tools on top. It carries a 5-star rating across 34 reviews and ships under the GPL license.

What is Select Pro?

Select Pro is a Blender add-on from Huge Menace that brings every selection method in Blender together into a single menu. It is context-aware: it looks at your scene, mode, and topology, then highlights the selection tools most relevant to what you are doing at that moment.

Alongside the consolidated menu, Select Pro adds new selection tools for both modes. In Edit Mode these include a contiguous edge path selection driven by an angle threshold and/or prediction, face surface selection, similar islands by bounding volume threshold, similar edges sharing a mark such as sharp, seam, or bevel weight, boundary edges by face convexity or concavity, vertex proximity from a single vertex, and face direction based on face normals. Object Mode adds selection by object hierarchy, similar size, and similar name.

Select Pro supports Blender 4.0 through 5.1, is marked Blender extension compatible, and is distributed under the GPL license. More selection tools are noted as coming soon, and a demo video is available.

Who is Select Pro best for?

Select Pro is best for blender artists working across complex meshes and object hierarchies who want prediction-assisted selection tools across Edit Mode and Object Mode.

How much does Select Pro cost?

Select Pro is completely free to download and use.
