TransformUtils

For Blender 3.6 and 4.x

By default some blender operations do not work very well with instances. Mainly I speak about 'Apply transformation' and 'Set Origin to'. Apply transformation - won't work at all with instanced object and setting 'Origin to 3D cursor' won't preserve position of instances. I made python version of these, that fixes above problems.. The 'Transform Utils' also has some other tools that I developed while working with blender.

• Get Transform Orientation - quick way to align gizmo to selected object, face, vertex or edge.
• Match To Transformation  - Sets current object rotation to match the gizmo transform orientation
• Apply Transformation - lets you apply location, rotation, scale even on object with instances. Instances positions will be maintained.
• Set Origin - same as above but to setting object origin
• Store position - save current object location, rotation, scale. Position can be restored with 'Restore position' button.

Ctrl + A menu contains quick access to Set Origin and Apply Transformation
