Blender Fast Pivot

By

Spiraloid Tools

This is a Blender 2.80 addon that creates two much needed menus for rapid camera aiming, cursor placement and local/global rotation toggles.  This is the addon I created first so I could be comfortable navigating in Blender.

View > Aim At Selected 

This snaps the cursor the selected element, and aims the camera at the cursor.  pressing it again without moving the cursor will toggle between placing the cursor at the selected midpoint and the global origin.

View > Toggle Local/Global

This toggles between setting the pivot point to the cursor or to the individual origins.

I have these bound to "alt+A" and `

they are my most used hotkeys.

install as you would usually install a blender addon. 

protip: I suggest setting your startup scene to have the view set to "Lock Camera to View" turned on by default.
