Axis Locking + Quick Pivot
Hey developers! During my time working on my map I always found myself often running commands in the command bar to call PivotTo on one part or model to another. This took a little bit of time to do as I had to rename them both as they typically had the name “Part” or “Model”. I also found myself wanting to drag a part without messing up its Y axis. I would sometimes literally copy the previous Y value from the position then paste it back in when I was done dragging. Eventually I decided to create a plugin that can resolve both of these issues for me and speed up my development even further!
SHOWCASE:
Here is Quick Pivot in action! As you can see it can be used to easily snap one part to the center of another. This works with models too!
With Quick Pivot you don’t have to open the plugin and press the button everytime you want to use it! By default you can press ALT + Q to use Quick Pivot and the keybind can be changed within the settings! You can also disable the keybind in the settings if you don’t want it there.
Here is Axis Locking in action! As you can see when I lock the Y axis and the rotation the part will prevent itself from moving along the Y axis and wont undo its rotation. This works for entire models as well!
You can easily combine the abilities of Axis Locking and Quick Pivot together too! As you can see I maintain the Y position and rotation of the part during Quick Pivot.
If you didn’t know already the PivotTo function when used with models will actually pivot the CFrame of the PrimaryPart of a model. You can use this to your advantage with instances like this:
In this one I am duplicating the model and snapping it to parts to put them in place. This can be useful for instances where for example you make a castle with 4 towers in each corner. You build one tower and now you can easily snap that tower into all the other corners! (This is an actual use case that I’ve used this for too lol)
Overall after using this plugin and getting used to it its been a personal game changer for me and speeds up the building process for me and I hope it can do the same for you!

This plugin is a feature taken from a multi-tool plugin that includes over 10+ plugins all in one. I decided to make it its own plugin as a cheaper alternative for those who only want this feature specifically. If you are interested in the plugin it came from (which offers a much better deal) you can view it here: Yoolurs Builder v2 (10+ Plugins in one!)
Enjoy!
