Why we like it

SO-SyncSelect earns its place in the Superhive library by doing one thing: keeping the outliner and viewport in sync with your selection. Version 1.1 made viewport synchronization a standard feature rather than an experimental one.

What is So-Syncselect?

SO-SyncSelect is a Blender add-on from Silvère Oriat with a single objective: keeping the outliner and the viewport synchronized with selected objects. The tool stays focused on that one task.

It is compatible as a Blender extension and supports Blender versions 3.6 through 4.5. Distributed under the MIT license, the add-on comes with documentation. Version 1.1 moved viewport synchronization out of experimental status, making it a standard part of the tool.

Published around a year ago, the add-on receives free updates. A supporter version with identical functionality is offered for anyone who wants to back the developer and the Blender Foundation. On the Superhive library it carries a popularity rank of 4085, and a demo video is available for a look before installing.

Who is So-Syncselect best for?

So-Syncselect is best for blender users who want the outliner and viewport to stay synchronized with the current object selection.

How much does So-Syncselect cost?

So-Syncselect is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does SO-SyncSelect work with Blender 4.5?

SO-SyncSelect supports Blender versions 3.6 through 4.5, so it works with Blender 4.5 as well as older releases back to 3.6. It is compatible as a Blender extension, which is how it is listed for these versions. If you are running a version outside the 3.6 to 4.5 range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing, since supported versions can shift as newer Blender releases arrive.

What changed in SO-SyncSelect version 1.1?

SO-SyncSelect version 1.1 moved viewport synchronization out of experimental status, making it a standard part of the add-on rather than an optional experimental feature. The core objective stays the same: keeping the outliner and the viewport synchronized with selected objects. The add-on also ships with free updates, so changes published after 1.1 reach existing users. For the full history of changes, the developer's page is the place to check.

Is SO-SyncSelect free?

SO-SyncSelect is listed as free in this catalog. A supporter version with identical functionality is also offered for anyone who wants to back the developer and the Blender Foundation, and it is described as the same add-on with the same features. The add-on itself is distributed under the MIT license. For current licensing and any supporter options, check the developer's page for the most up-to-date details.

How do I install SO-SyncSelect in Blender?

SO-SyncSelect is compatible as a Blender extension, listed for Blender versions 3.6 through 4.5. It comes with documentation, and once the add-on is enabled it works toward its single objective of synchronizing the outliner and the viewport with selected objects. The catalog does not detail step-by-step installation, so for the most current installation steps the included documentation and the developer's page are the best places to look.
