GENERAL INFORMATION

The addon is designed to provide several tools to speed your workflow in viewport display related tasks and interaction with multiple objects.

The addon works in two ways:

Apply on selected objects.
Apply on all objects if none are selected.

The main features of the addon are:

Fast Navigate : Modal operator to display wireframe/Bounding Box based display while you are orbiting/panning/zooming and other common operations in the viewport. Very similar to fast navigate for sculpt.

Display tools : Tools to change the object´s viewport display type.

Shading Setup : Tools to do batch changes on an object's display properties like smooth/flat shading, disable double-sided, switch to shadeless/normal material, wireframe and bounds extra overlay and x-ray visualization.

Scene Visualization : Unified scene visualization tools. A combination of global display properties from the "N" Panel and scene simplification tools from the scene tab, can all be accessed directly from the toolshelf.

Modifier Tools : Tools for batch operations related to modifiers like activate, deactivate, expand, collapse, apply and delete all selected object modifiers at once.
A tool for applying a dummy simple deform modifier to improve incorrect viewport performance when the subsurf modifier is active.

TUTORIAL

KNOWN ISSUES

Will not work with builds that don't have backface culling support or old python API.
For now the Dummy/Delete Dummy workflow breaks your setups for simple deform modifiers, I´ll try to fix soon.
