| 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. Keep Shift held while confirming (or turn on the dock's "Keep placing" switch) to lay down a row of pieces 5. Esc or Right Mouse drops the carried piece without touching what is already placed Full documentation in README. Report issues on GitHub. |
