Blender: Viewport Navigation Helper

Tested on Blender 2.83

Blender is great, but one thing I miss from my years of being a Maya artist are the fluid viewport controls and radial menus.

So I made this -a little tool to quickly focus on different objects in the Blender 3D Viewport. 

- Use the hotkey Shift + F to bring up a pie menu.

- Quickly focus on the selected object, the entire scene, or orthographic views with ease. 

- Quickly toggle between Quad View and local views.

- Quickly align the camera with different elements or objects.
