Why we like it

Select Similar Objects earns its place for a narrow, practical job: pulling comparable objects out of a crowded scene by size, instance status, or material. It grew out of the developer's own work cleaning up a dense car model, and that origin shows in its simple, sorting-focused design.

What is Select Similar Objects (Blender?

Select Similar Objects is a Blender add-on from WhiteLakeStudio that highlights objects in a scene based on shared characteristics. It works with two criteria: objects of similar size or instance copies, and objects that use the same material. The result is a way to select comparable items in a scene even when those objects carry different names.

The developer describes it as very simple, built to help when you need to sort something and the scene holds hundreds of objects. WhiteLakeStudio used it while working on an engineering model of a car, where hundreds of bolts and clips had to be removed with little time to spare.

The add-on works with Blender 3.6, and support for Blender 4.2 is planned for the near future. Documentation is included for reference. You'll find it in the Superhive library, where you can also reach the developer with questions before downloading.
