Earns its place in the Superhive library by consolidating pivot, origin and 3D Cursor management into one panel with a visual marker system and broad Blender version coverage.
Smart Pivot & Cursor Manager Pro brings pivot, origin and 3D Cursor control into one panel in Blender's 3D View. You can save, recall, rename, undo and redo positions, move objects and align selections without leaving the viewport. Its New X / Y / Z operators move selected objects, mesh elements or armature bones to the 3D Cursor's coordinates on a single axis or on all axes at once, working in Object Mode, Edit Mesh and Edit Armature.
A visual marker system creates a color-coded Empty and text label for each saved Cursor or Origin. Active markers appear orange and inactive markers gray, with independent visibility switches, a global scale slider and one-click resizing of the active marker. Pivot tools set the pivot to selection center, 3D Cursor, top or ground, while alignment and distribution tools align objects to the first object's axis and distribute them evenly.
The add-on supports Blender from 2.79 through 4.x with automatic API detection, and stores Cursor rotation on Blender 2.93 and later. A background handler keeps marker positions updated as you work.
Smart Pivot & Cursor Manager Pro is best for blender artists working on modeling, rigging, ArchViz and object placement who need precise, visual control over pivots, origins and the 3D Cursor.
Smart Pivot & Cursor Manager Pro is completely free to download and use.
Smart Pivot & Cursor Manager Pro works from Blender 2.79 all the way up to Blender 4.x, using automatic API detection to adapt to different versions. Cursor rotation storage is available on Blender 2.93 and later. The add-on also includes improved material and collection linking for older Blender versions, so its features remain available across a wide range of releases rather than being tied to a single recent build.
Smart Pivot & Cursor Manager Pro provides New X / Y / Z operators that move selected objects, mesh elements or armature bones to the 3D Cursor's coordinates. You can move on a single axis or on all axes at once. These operators work in Object Mode, Edit Mesh and Edit Armature, covering object placement, mesh editing and bone positioning from the same set of controls within the viewport panel.
Smart Pivot & Cursor Manager Pro creates a color-coded Empty and text label for each saved Cursor or Origin position. Active markers appear orange and inactive markers gray. You get independent visibility switches for Cursor and Origin markers, a global scale slider that resizes all markers instantly, and one-click controls to increase or decrease the size of the currently active marker. A background handler keeps marker positions updated as you work.
Smart Pivot & Cursor Manager Pro is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current details before downloading. The add-on is published by Baris Arslan on Superhive, where you can also find the product listing and a demo video demonstrating the tool.
