FAQ
I deleted a folder inside a folder and things broke
- Don’t delete folders inside folders, unless they’re at the top of the hierarchy. You can delete from the top to the bottom. Or take the folder you want deleted and just put it outside the hierarchy, and then delete it. This will prevent potential issues
How many vertex groups can I have in a model?
- It’s been stress tested up to 1000 vertex groups on a model, where performance and stability can degrade significantly. But it’s doubtful one would reach even half of that number. Non-retopologized high poly mesh, unoptimized scenes with a lot of unused materials, shape keys, vertex groups and drivers is a common problem that can degrade performance.
I can’t add new vertex groups
- Target an object which has vertex groups and click the + button in the vertex groups UI. This will convert your current vertex groups into the addon’s collection style
The .zip doesn’t install in Blendern

Actions
Add/Remove
Add a new vertex group or remove the active vertex group or folder. If you remove an open folder, its children will become a child of the folder the now-removed folder was a child of (they will step down in the hierarchy). If you remove a closed folder, the folder and anything inside of it will be removed
Up/Down
Rearrange the order of vertex group or folders. An item may not be moved outside of a folder it belongs to, or into a folder it doesn’t belong to
Add Folder
Creates a ‘Folder’ object inside the list of vertex group, which can have vertex groups or other folders put into them to create a structured hierarchy
Folder Toggle
Open and close the folder. Closing a folder hides everything inside of it, for a more tidy UI
