Add-on: Quick Rotate
🕑 Added 2025-08-10 13:45:58 +0000 UTCThis is barely an add-on but nonetheless something I've been finding very convenient. It's very simple: you press Shift R, then you press either X, Y, or Z to rotate your object by 90 degrees along the specified axis.
I can't think of any scene in which I haven't had to rotate stuff by precisely 90 degrees and either having to type it in which requires you to change your keyboard grip, or to hold ctrl and adjusting the rotation dial manually which takes time. Your precious time is getting wasted!!
There are also some extra features that include being able to cycle both the rotational mode from global to local, using tab, and pivot point (median, active, cursor) with C. As well as changing the rotation increment by either pressing 1 = 45, 2 = 90 or 3 = 180 (degrees). Finally you can invert the rotation by holding shift.
The whole purpose of this add-on is to make your blender experience just a little bit more smooth. Hopefully you find it useful :)
