This plugin adds five features into the Unreal Editor to solve frustrating things and improve asset and level workflows.

  1. Sort the Details panel in the order you want. Find your properties immediately without scrolling.

  2. Add new tabs to the Place Actors panel. Place actors faster without searching for them.

  3. Add new items into the New Asset menu. Create your project's common asset types quickly.

  4. Customize the New Blueprint menu. Create the Blueprint types you want with just one click.

  5. A "Search Blueprints in Folder" function to make finding blueprint content within a specific folder easier

The features are easily configurable from the Project Settings screen. This is an Editor-only tool.

Note for Unreal Engine 4 users: In UE 4.27, all other features except "Search Blueprints in Folder" work. The Search feature depends on features only available in UE5.

Hi, Thx for your plugin, but the “custom place actor categories” option makes the editor to crash (UE 5.5) ! Can you fix it please?

Hey there - sorry for not getting back to you on this sooner. I don’t seem to be getting notifications from the forums. In the future I would recommend emailing me if you have any bug reports or other issues - it’s the best way to get a response quickly :slight_smile:

I’m looking into this - there seems to have been a number of changes to how the place actors panel works which has caused things to break. I’ll update here as soon as I have a fix.

A new version of the plugin should be available to download now, which should fix the issue.

Hey, sound’s like a cool plugin. Is it possible to sort the categories in the Class Defaults i.e to sort MyCategory in BP_MyCharacter (AMyCharacter : AAcharacter’) so that it appears on top of the Class Defaults panel?

7

Yes - the sorting feature should work in all details panels. This includes the Class Defaults view, the Level editor when selecting actors, other Blueprint editor views, the Behavior Tree editor, etc.

You can f.ex. specify that you want to sort “MyCategory” in all classes starting with BP_, and any panel which displays a category-based details view should sort it on top for matching objects.
