Welcome to PME Documentation¶

Pie Menu Editor (PME) is a Blender add-on originally created by roaoao in 2016. It lets you build pie menus, regular menus, pop-up dialogs, macros, and custom panels without writing code, so you can customize Blender’s interface freely.

Menus & Dialogs¶

Keep essential actions easy to open and easy to reach.

Pie Menu Editor

Group frequently used actions into a radial menu. Nested menus and embedded panels are also supported.

../editors/pie_menu_editor.html

Regular Menu Editor

Create dropdown menus for hotkey access or integration into existing Blender menus.

../editors/regular_menu_editor.html

Pop-up Dialog Editor

Build widget layouts that can appear in menus, dialogs, panels, or toolbars.

../editors/popup_dialog_editor.html

Floating Panel Editor

Create floating panels that stay open while you work. This beta mode shares the same slot structure as Pop-up Dialog.

../editors/popup_dialog_editor.html

Keys & Shortcuts¶

Get more range out of fewer keys.

Sticky Key Editor

Assign different actions to key press and key release. Useful for temporary tools and mode switching.

../editors/sticky_key_editor.html

Stack Key Editor

Assign multiple commands to one hotkey and cycle through them with repeated presses.

../editors/stack_key_editor.html

Operators & Automation¶

Turn repeated steps into actions you can reuse quickly.

Macro Operator Editor

Combine existing Blender operators into a new action. Well suited for recurring workflows.

../editors/macro_operator_editor.html

Modal Operator Editor

Create interactive operators that adjust values while they run in response to keys and mouse input.

../editors/modal_operator_editor.html

Interface & Properties¶

Organize Blender’s UI and data into a shape that fits your work.

Menu/Panel Extension

Insert your own menus into existing Blender menus and panels. You can also control placement and order.

../editors/ui_customization.html#pme-menu-panel-extension

Property Editor

Define custom properties with Getter and Setter support, and register them on any Blender data block.

../editors/property_editor.html

Side Panel Editor

Reorganize side panel tabs and panel structure. Useful for custom categories and extending existing UI.

../editors/side_panel_editor.html

Hiding Unused Panels

Hide unused panels and groups to keep your workspace clean and focused.

../editors/hiding_unused_panels.html

Do I need programming knowledge?

No. PME can be used without programming. If you use Python, you can customize it even further.
