ND
Non-Destructive Modeling Toolkit.
ND is a Blender add-on that provides workflow enhancements, tools, operations, and generators tailored specifically for non-destructive & hard-surface 3D modelling.
It additionally offers post-modelling workflow enhancements for external applications such as Substance Painter, Marmoset Toolbag, game engines, and more.
Features
- Object and edit mode operations.
- Interactive modifiers.
- Recalling modifiers to alter parameters.
- Streamlined boolean, bevel, extrusion, and replication workflows.
- Model packaging (material IDs, high & low poly, UVs.)
- Scene management (utils, overlays, visualisation modes.)
- Extensive customisation (behaviour, theming, UI.)

- improve sync modifiers attribute detection and add support for geometry nodes
- mark sync modifiers as a standard feature (previously experimental)
- retain original object and offset_object utils when syncing modifiers and add an option to override (ALT) if required
Bug Fixes
- fix maximum recursion depth exceeded error when smart duplicating an object with cylic utils
- fix the error that occurs when cancelling a panel operation on the first step (selecting geometry)
When you use one shortcut differently based on the modelling mode. really saves time
