With the “Sad cursor” tool you can change the position and orientation of the 3D cursor in one click. Working with it has become much faster and more convenient, no need to press a bunch of keys to do one action. Changing it’s orientation and making precise movements has always been tricky to do. Also, you can assign your favorite hotkey for each action to prevent interfering with other addons.
We made “Sad Cursor” for ourselves to make the modeling workflow in blender faster and more smoothly. We share it with you.

Сhange position of the mesh pivot to 3d cursor position;
