Choose a PME building block

PME can present commands, compose interfaces, sequence actions, and react to context. This page is a compact orientation—not an exhaustive list of current modes. Use the current PME documentation for the product reference.

When you want to…	Start with…	See it in use
Reach a short set of actions by direction	Pie Menu	Build your first useful Pie Menu
Show a longer linear list	Regular Menu	Examples and Showcases
Put controls and native widgets in a temporary surface	Popup Dialog	Add a Blender widget to a Popup Dialog
Run several operations as one workflow	Macro	Run a Macro from a menu or panel
Cycle a memorable sequence on one key	Stack Key	Cycle several actions with one key
Change something only while a key is held	Sticky Key	Temporarily change a property
Adjust a value interactively	Modal	Understand a historical Modal execution case
Reuse a Blender value as a PME control	Property	Make a Property slider
Keep a task surface in Blender’s sidebar	Panel Group	Create a Sidebar Panel Group

A quick choice

Need to choose an action?
├── Short spatial set → Pie Menu
├── Longer linear set → Regular Menu
└── Controls or a small form → Popup Dialog
 
Need behavior rather than a menu?
├── Several steps together → Macro
├── Repeated presses cycle actions → Stack Key
├── Press and release borrow a state → Sticky Key
├── Mouse movement adjusts a value → Modal
├── A reusable Blender value → Property
└── A persistent task surface → Panel Group

The most useful setup often combines more than one block. Selected examples focuses on that composition rather than on feature names.
