Auto part

Is there a way to enable the Auto‑Parts feature inside the ZenSets pie menu?

I would like Auto‑Parts to update in real‑time: whenever I enter Edit Mode on a mesh, it should automatically generate loose‑part groups and populate them within the pie menu. Real‑time behaviour would be ideal. And I want to be able to toggle visibility via ZenSets’ regular manual Display toggle. Would this be technically feasible?

Hi, could you explain step by step the task. And what do you mean by Auto Parts ? Auto Groups ?

What I mean is, when Auto Group is enabled, every time I enter edit mode on a mesh, all its parts get automatically split into colored groups. This would make ZBrush‑style operations like Ctrl+Shift‑click work smoothly, without me having to manually create parts for each object.

For example, when I enter edit mode on the first object which has five parts, they get auto‑grouped, and I can perform those ZBrush‑style Ctrl+Shift‑click operations. Then I exit edit mode back to object mode. When I select the second object and go into edit mode, its different parts are automatically generated as colored groups again.

There is an Auto Groups feature:

Try to use it. If it suits you, you can aassign a shortcut or put to quick favourites. I would not recomment to put it to the enter Edit Mode transition, because there are a lot of silent Object->Edit Mesh transitions, that you do not see. And addon would freeze interface a lot

The auto I’m talking about is not this one.

What I mean by auto is automatic assignment, not this AutoGroup. Even though it is named AutoGroup, it is still a button that needs to be manually triggered every time.

The auto I want means generating automatically each time without manual invocation.:smiley:

If you want the feature, we need to start from a command which will generate groups. Then I will explain how to make it be executable automatically. But I need the format of a command

Every time I create a new object, I have to press the Auto Group button manually. Is there a true auto‑mode? I want it to generate Auto Groups automatically whenever I create a new object.

In your case you add new mesh part, not Object in the Blender meaning. And it is enough to press Alt + F1 hotkey to create a new group from a selection
