Blender Addon to Add empty(ies) as Parent

The script creates an empty (those things with axis and no mesh-data) and sets it as a parent for the selected objects. After installing you can trigger it with pressing P, you can change this shortcut in the user preferences later.

v1.3: -works with blender >=2.8, access also through "Add" menu -new objects will be selected

How to install :

  • goto Blender -> Edit -> preferences -> addons
  • on the top click "Install", then browse for the downloaded zip file and click install
  • you should find it now in the Addon-list as "Object: Add an empty as parent"

How to use :

  • select the objects
  • press P
  • property panel "Add empty as parent" should appear
  • select the Empty type ( axis, arrow, cube ...)
  • select the empty position ( world center, median point, at cursor, active object )
  • select whether to add one empty per object or only one with one parent per object
  • set option to first set objects-center set origin to object first
  • check parent inverse if you want to set the inverse
  • you can set the scaling of the empty in scale field
  • you can set the name of the empty in name field
  • to use names of selected objects as base set use childname
