Fluid Drag & Drop Placement: Simply hold Alt + RMB (customizable) and drag. The working pivot tracks your mouse in real-time. Release the key, and your pivot is perfectly placed and instantly active.
-
Smart Snapping Engine: Fully integrated with Blender's native snapping ecosystem. Effortlessly snap your working pivot to Vertices or Fine Grids (Increments) for absolute precision.
-
Full UV Editor Support: Don't limit your workflow to 3D! B- Working Pivot operates seamlessly in the UV Editor. Snap to UV vertices or grids using the exact same intuitive shortcuts.

Non-Destructive & Auto-Reverting: Done modifying? Hit Alt + Double RMB to deactivate the working pivot. The add-on automatically restores your previous Transform Pivot Point and returns the 3D Cursor to its exact prior location. No mess left behind.
-
Zero-Clutter UI: A sleek, unobtrusive, drop-shadowed HUD sits quietly at the bottom of your screen to remind you the tool is active. It never conflicts with other add-ons or clutters your header bars.
