Vertex Group Collections

FAQ

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.

    • Please un-zip the archive and install the .py script.

    Toggle Option Location
    Change where the target folder selection is located. 1st option is next to a vertex group or folder; 2nd option is under the entire list

    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
