The Super Parent add-on from Calm Dude changes object management in Blender. Users can create parent-child relationships among multiple selected objects without changing their hierarchy. Available options include setting an Empty Object or a Cage Mesh as the parent and dynamic resizing with an experimental auto-refit function.

Calm Dude – Super Parent Features

• Group Parenting: Set a parent object to be assigned to multiple selected ones while keeping their hierarchy intact.
• Collection Parenting: Set the parent object as all the objects in a specific collection.
• Parent Object Options: Set the parent object to either an Empty Object or a surrounding Cage Mesh.
• Refitting: Resize the cage mesh dynamically to fit the change in the child’s objects.
• Auto-Refitting: Change the Cage Mesh size automatically whenever there are changes in the scene.
• Super Parent Color: You can assign a colour to the topmost parent object, its wireframe, and individual objects.
• Individual Object Colors: Set individual objects’ wireframe colours.
• Visibility in Solid View: Colored wireframes are visible in Solid View, improving the layout view’s organisation.
