### Enhanced UI layout for modifiers with handy features. Available also in the sidebar and as a popup. #### FAQ: Q: Would be possible to add **drag and drop** for the list? A: Unfortunately the answer is no, it’s **not possible**. Version 1.0 (popup only) is for Blender 2.79 too, later versions are only for 2.8x and newer. The current version requires at least Blender 2.92. I hope some of you find this addon useful. Let me know what you think! * * * #### _Disclaimer: When using the list layout, since Blender 2.90, every time a modifier gets a new feature, I need to manually update the layout, and I may not always do that immediately. So there may be a delay._ * * * [Download from here](https://github.com/Symstract/Modifier-Popup-Panel/releases) [Changelog](https://github.com/Symstract/modifier_list/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) # Modifier List ![properties_editor_and_sidebar](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/5/f/d/5fd6202523ce5340ae947fed3d091055c05f30ad.png) ![popup](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/6/1/b/61b8eca611666247ccf030549603470565a89e65.png) ## Features - **Modifier list or stack** - **Modifier search** - **Modifier menu** - **Favourite modifiers** which can be set in the addon preferences or from a popup available from the Modifier Extras popover - **Ability to apply modifiers in edit mode (kind of).** The “Apply Modifier” and “Apply All Modifiers” operators automatically switch to object mode, apply the modifier and switch back to edit mode. - **Ability to apply modifiers even if the object’s data is used by multiple objects.** In this case, a popup with two options is shown: “Apply To Active Object Only (Break Link)” and “Apply To All Objects” - **Operators for synchronizing one or all modifiers on instances.** These can be found in the Modifier Extras popover. - **Ability to insert new modifiers after the active one** by enabling the “Insert New Modifier After Active” setting. - **Setting to disallow applying hidden modifiers** , which affects both “Apply Modifier” and “Apply All Modifiers”. Hold Alt to override this. (When off, the behaviour is reversed.) - **Ability to move a modifier to top/bottom** by holding shift when pressing “Move Modifier” - **Modifier batch operators** Toggle All Modifiers, Apply All Modifiers and Remove All Modifiers. Apply All Modifiers works also in edit mode. - **Sidebar panels and a popup** , which contain also a vertex group list. The sidebar panels can be disabled in the addon preferences. The Sidebar category can be customized and there’s also a setting to keep the panels always visible. - **Object pinning for the sidebar tab and for the popup** by clicking the pin icon in the header. When an object is pinned, the panels don’t follow object selection but keep showing the modifiers (and vertex groups) of the pinned object instead. It works the same way as context pinning in Properties Editor. - **Easy way to add a control object** - or as I decided to call them, **a gizmo object** - to a modifier - **Improved UI/UX for Lattice modifier** - **Customizable modifier default settings** - **Extra settings/operators for boolean objects** inside Boolean layout: visibility toggle, display type, shade smooth / shade flat and select - **Auto Smooth is enabled automatically when you add a Weighted Normal or a Normal Edit modifier** - **Black and white icons** to choose between ## Hotkeys **Default hotkey for the popup is Alt + Space**. Inside the keymap editor, you can find it under 3D View \> 3D View (Global) \> Modifier Popup. In the Property Editor, **Shift + A opens the modifier menu** and **Shift + Ctrl + A opens the modifier search**. To disable or add shortcuts for them for other editors, use “object.ml\_modifier\_add\_from\_menu” and “object.ml\_modifier\_add\_from\_search” in the keymap editor. It’s recommended to add shortcuts under the 3D View \> 3D View (Global) category so they are available in all modes. ## Preferences are auto saved into your Blender config folder - Example path: “…\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\ \< blender version \> \config\modifier\_list\preferences.json” - Preferences from another version can be imported using the “Import Preferences” operator - This means disabling Modifier List won’t make you lose your settings ## Known Issues and Limitations - Inside the popup, lists don’t remember their sizes after they are resized. Popups are not really meant for this kind of stuff, so that’s a limitation of Blender. - Using the popup, picking an object from the viewport is not possible. A limitation of popups. Hopefully, that could be possible at some point because that applies also to the driver editor popup and there’s an open bug report about it in the bug tracker. - Warnings like “Enable ‘Auto Smooth’ option in mesh settings” are not displayed - Data Transfer’s “Generate Data Layers” doesn’t use automatic settings, instead, it opens a menu - Add Modifier’s tooltip doesn’t fit Lattice - Custom bevel profiles don’t get synchronized when synchronizing modifiers between instances - Geometry Nodes doesn’t have the Internal Dependencies panel - Move to Nodes and Copy to Selected operators don’t work in the popup or in the sidebar if an object is pinned ---

Very cool! Would it be possible to add a section for adding/removing/modifying Vertex Groups, as well as Edge weighting/sharpening? Since a lot of modifiers use these to influence their behavior? Either way, more popups for helping to work in full screen is great! Thanks! 🙂 ---

@Zimlorog Thanks! I will add a new tab for handling vertex groups and bevel weights + edge creases at some point. Maybe I could also add edge groups for managing weights and creases like this addon does: > **[GitHub - wisaac407/blender-edge-sets: Easily manage edge creases and bevel...](https://github.com/wisaac407/blender-edge-sets)** > > Easily manage edge creases and bevel weights.

I updated the releases on Github. They now have a proper .zip that should install without problems if it didn’t install before. ---

Beautiful! This is like a good redesign for the modifiers panel. I always thought it was a pain to even change the order of modifiers in the default interface, cause you kinda lose track of the order every time you click the up and down arrows. I had a poor man’s version of what this add-on does made with the Pie Menu Editor, but I will definitely try this one out. Thanks! ---

I love this! Thank You! An Idea: Options for Add-on Tab. ( in addon preferences ) ![modipaneltab](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/f/f/4/ff41048553e084cf7b74c5e46b32b9ccbe3c90e4.jpeg) ---

@z01ks @COB-666 Thanks! Putting this into sidebar should be easy and I have considered that. Maybe it would make this addon more useful also for users that don’t care about popups. Also, there this wouldn’t have the restrictions of a popup. I will propably add the option in a future (next?) release. Maybe I also need to rename this then. 😃 ---

Awesome! Thanks. 🙂 I noticed two bugs… 1.) Doesn’t save the changed hotkey. 2.) “Pick object” ( mirror modifier for example ) is not working. ---

@COB-666 Thanks for reporting but these issues are not actually specific to this addon. 1. Seems to be a bug in 2.8: [https://developer.blender.org/T60766](https://developer.blender.org/T60766) 2. > [@Symstract](#): > > ## Known issues and restrictions > > … > > - Picking an object from viewport is not possible. A restriction of popups. Hopefully that could be possible at some point because that applies also to the driver editor popup. We’ll see. Sidebar version wouldn’t suffer from this. ---

so guys, until this bug is fixed, is not there a way to disable this addon from the space bar use? in the end I need it with “alt + spacebar” … ok I guess that for the moment I edit the code manually :))) edit: I do not know if it is a bug of this addon, but doing a search among the “spacebar” shortcuts I discovered that this addon had created more shorcut with the same works, probably pressing several times previously to try to change the shortcut … I realized it because once I modified the code adding manually “alt + spacebar”, the addon continued to be mapped even on “spacebar” … ---

@anon27868450 I uploaded a new release for 2.8. Now alt + space is the default hotkey. I also disabled the ability to modify it in addon preferences for now to avoid problems. In keymap editor, it can be found under 3D View -\> 3D View (Global) -\> Modifier Popup Panel. ---

Finally a new version… ## 1.1 - 21.3.2019 Only Blender 2.8 is supported from now on. Also, the name has changed from Modifier Popup Panel to Modifier List since this addon now also has a tab in the sidebar. Because of that, when you install this new version, you need to remove the old version and add your favourite modifiers again. By the way, the popup is now vertically a bit more compact. A bit too compact, I think, but that’s unavoidable with the tabs. ### New Features and Changes - This addon now has a tab in the sidebar (which can be disabled from addon preferences) - Popup now has tabs - Added a tab for vertex groups to the popup and a panel for them to the sidebar ![popup](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/1/3/9/139f6b514e1c9a482bf25679603faeaf6c189610.png) ![sidebar](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/d/f/d/dfd885666d64ecaf801a901a7646f4a0a7862b20.png) I thought of adding edge weights and creases too, but it turned out to be not as easy as just copying a data path, so I didn’t add them. Maybe at some point in the future, but it’s not a priority for me. ---
