Why DRH - Dual Units

Text Content

DRH - Dual Units is designed to emulate Blender’s default Transform panel inside the N Panel, while adding the dual-unit visibility Blender does not provide by default.

Since Blender does not allow its native Transform panel to be replaced, this add-on gives you a familiar transform-style panel where you can view your active scene units and alternate units side by side.

You can check Location, Rotation, Scale, and Dimensions with converted alternate values visible directly beside the original transform values.

The main goal is simple: make metric and imperial workflows easier to understand at a glance.

Ideal for artists, modelers, technical creators, and anyone who works between different unit systems.

Introductory price: $4.99 USD.

What You Can Do

Emulate Blender’s default Transform panel with a familiar N Panel layout
View scene units and alternate units side by side
Check Location, Rotation, Scale, and Dimensions without manual conversion
Work more comfortably between metric and imperial unit systems
Convert transform values when needed for faster measurement review
Swap alternate unit settings to match your current workflow
Lock and edit transform values from a familiar transform-style interface
Reduce unit confusion during modeling, scale checks, and object review
Improve communication when clients, references, or collaborators use different units

Block Heading Faster Dual-Unit Transform Viewing

DRH - Dual Units focuses on the part of Blender where measurements matter most: the Transform values in the N Panel.

Because Blender does not allow its default Transform panel to be replaced, this add-on emulates that familiar layout and adds a clearer dual-unit workflow on top of it.

You can keep working with your active scene units while viewing alternate converted values directly beside:

Location
Rotation
Scale
Dimensions

This is especially useful for:

metric and imperial workflows
scale checking
product modeling
architectural visualization
reference-based modeling
client-friendly measurement review
technical asset preparation

Work With Metric and Imperial Values Side by Side

Many Blender projects involve mixed measurement expectations.

You may build a scene in meters, receive references in inches, review dimensions in feet, or need to communicate measurements to someone using a different unit system.

DRH - Dual Units helps by showing alternate unit values directly in a transform-style N Panel interface, so you can understand both systems at a glance without constantly changing Blender’s unit settings.

This helps with:

reducing conversion mistakes
checking object dimensions faster
reviewing scale more clearly
working across metric and imperial requirements
preparing models for clients, teams, and technical workflows

Designed to Feel Familiar

DRH - Dual Units is designed to feel close to Blender’s native Transform panel, while adding the missing dual-unit visibility many workflows need.

The goal is not to replace Blender’s built-in panel. Instead, it provides a familiar emulated transform panel where alternate units can be viewed beside the original transform values.

Use it when you need to:

verify model size
compare unit systems
review dimensions quickly
keep alternate units visible while modeling
avoid switching unit settings just to understand a measurement

Simple Utility and Clear Production Value

Small measurement issues can create bigger production problems later.

A clearer dual-unit workflow helps you catch scale mismatches earlier, communicate dimensions better, and move through modeling tasks with fewer interruptions.

DRH - Dual Units gives Blender users a focused way to handle mixed-unit needs directly in a transform-style N Panel layout.

Less manual conversion. More confidence while modeling.
