Replace
Swap any number of objects for a single source in one click, positions kept. One undo, no manual cloning.
Swapping a placeholder for the finished model sounds like a one-step job. In practice it is cloning the new object, matching the position, re-parenting the children, copying the tags, renaming it, and deleting the old one. Now do that fifty times.
Replace does the whole swap in a single pass. Pick a source, pick the targets, choose what to keep, and every target becomes the source in place.
Set your source
Drag any object into the New Object field. This is what your targets become.
Pick your targets
Drag objects into the list, or select them in the Object Manager and hit Add Selection. No limit on how many.
Choose what to keep
Toggle positions, children, tags and names. The plugin preserves exactly what you check.
