# Summery

N-Pick is a professional UX improvement add-on for Blender. Besides decluttering the 3D Viewport N-panel, it also gives users fast access to Blender windows and editors such as the Graph Editor, Properties, Outliner, and other panel-based tools, while also supporting custom scripts, Blender operators, layouts, add-ons, and floating panel workflows from one controlled launch system.

Current build: **2.7.9**\
Minimum Blender version: **4.2.1**\
Primary location: **3D Viewport > Sidebar > N-Pick**\
Default N-Pick launch hotkey: **Shift + Alt + X**

## What N-Pick solves

As Blender scenes, add-ons, and production workflows grow, common actions become scattered across tabs, editors, menus, and custom tools. N-Pick centralizes those access points into a cleaner, faster launch experience:

* A themed N-Pick pie overlay for picking grouped items.
* A native Dive In menu for opening the active add-on's sub-panels.
* A Browse Menu for searching and launching configured items.
* A Viewport Header status menu for quick add-on access.
* Support for Blender windows, editor panels, custom scripts, and operators.
* Per-layout, per-group, and per-item hotkeys.
* Import/export for moving configuration between Blender installs.

## Recommended reading order

Start with Getting Started, then Preferences Overview, then Layouts and Groups. After that, read the launch method pages based on how you want to use the add-on.
