| Description |
**The minimal 3D asset placement addon for Godot 4 — drag assets in, transform them with the keyboard and chain rows of pieces without leaving the viewport.** Simple Asset Placer 3.1 builds on the 3.0 rewrite: a compact asset browser dock and an inline keyboard transform engine that works everywhere, plus keep-placing chains. ### Key Features **Keep Placing** • Double-click an asset (or press Enter on its row) to spawn one instance under the cursor and pick it up • Hold Shift while confirming (or flip the new dock "Keep placing" switch) to keep the placed piece and carry a fresh copy — every Enter/LMB lays down the next piece • Drag & drop with the modifier held starts a chain from the dropped asset; chains started from the dock follow the selected row • Works on picked-up scene nodes too: the confirmed selection stays put and duplicates of it are carried (a whole multi-selection as one group) • Each confirm is its own undo step — Esc/RMB drops only the carried, not-yet-placed piece **Inline Keyboard Transforms** • Rotate (X/Y/Z), move (W/A/S/D + Q/E height), scale (L/K) • Works while dragging an asset from the dock or the regular FileSystem • Fine steps (Ctrl), large steps (Alt), reverse (Shift) — hold-to-repeat • One undo step per drag/pick-up session (Ctrl+Z restores everything) **Pick-Up Mode** • TAB picks up the selection — it follows your cursor over surfaces • Grid snapping follows the editor's "Use Snap" toggle (Ctrl inverts, engine-style) • Snap to Floor with PageDown — drops onto the surface below and locks height • Ignores the carried node's own collision (no more flying-away nodes) • Confirm: TAB / Enter / LMB — Cancel: Esc / RMB (restores original transforms) • Confirm with Shift held (or the Keep placing switch on) to stamp duplicates of the selection instead of ending the session **Quick Duplicate Stamp** • V duplicates and picks up the copies — stamp with LMB, V again for rapid variations **Shortcut Shield** • Ctrl+X / Ctrl+C / Ctrl+S are captured while transforming — no accidental cut or save • QWERTZ-friendly: keys are matched by keycap label **Asset Browser Dock** • Grouped list view — folders as collapsible group headers • Engine-generated thumbnails, live search, native drag-and-drop • Double-click spawns an asset under the cursor, picked up and ready to transform • "Keep placing" switch in the dock header for one-click chain placement **Fully Configurable** • Every key and step value lives in Editor Settings → simple_asset_placer/ ### Format Support GLTF/GLB, FBX, OBJ, Collada, TSCN/SCN, TRES/RES and more ### Requirements Godot 4.x (developed and tested on 4.7) | MIT License | No dependencies ### Quick Start 1. Enable in Project Settings → Plugins 2. Double-click an asset in the dock to spawn it under the cursor 3. Transform it with the keyboard, then confirm with Enter or Left Mouse 4.
