Anchor Management (Blender addon)

Anchor Management

The Origin therapy session you need.

Is your model's pivot point giving you a serious headache? If you're tired of manually adjusting origins or fighting to get the pivot precisely to the bottom-center of your mesh, it's time for some professional relief.

Anchor Management is the essential, free utility that provides the Origin therapy session you need. It calms the chaos of complex modeling and placement by giving you immediate, precise control over every pivot point.

This addon brings powerful organization and absolute precision to your workflow. It instantly calculates the perfect anchor position—whether you are aligning a single model, treating an entire group of selected objects as one cohesive unit, or gaining maximum control over your pivot points using dedicated Gizmo toggles.

Stop wrestling with your origin. Get grounded with Anchor Management.

🔥 Feature Spotlight: Group Mode & Bounding Box Precision

Anchor Management eliminates manual guesswork by leveraging the true geometric boundaries of your objects, even when working with multiple assets:

• Group Mode Snaps: Activate the "Use Selected Bounds" toggle to calculate a single, precise anchor point based on the collective bounding box of ALL selected objects. This is perfect for rigging or positioning entire complex assemblies at once.

  

  
  
• 8 Quick Snap Positions: Instantly snap your object's origin to any critical point on its bounding box in a single click, including Center, Top/Bottom Center, and all four bottom corners.

🔄 Utility & Alignment

• Toggle Origin Gizmo: Instantly activate the native Blender "Affect Only: Origins" mode from the panel, making it easy to see and move the pivot point using the standard Move Gizmo.

Surgical Accuracy

Includes Cursor to Selected and Cursor to Face Center to instantly snap your cursor to the mathematical center of vertices, edges, or faces.
