ND

Changelog

Features

• add a 'Boolean Connectors' option to the GN Pipe Generator modifier
• add the new Generators menu to the N-Panel on Blender 4.3+

Bug Fixes

• ensure the Generators shortcut menu (Shift Alt G) is not bound on Blender versions lower than 4.3

Changelog

Features

• add edge length operator
• add GN hole generator
• add GN pipe generator
• add the pipe generator operator to the fast menu, replacing pipe extrude

Bug Fixes

• fix the Flare energy offset parameter reset after energy levels have been randomised

Changelog

Features

• add an option to disable the creation of a custom transform orientation when using view align
• add an option to disable util viewport visibility when toggling (in addition to hiding)
• add an option to stop ND from hiding all unrelated utils when an operation creates or recalls another util object
• set the material mode on exact booleans to transfer

Fixes

• ensure that util objects aren't rendered when in Cycles or EEVEE preview modes
• ensure that utils aren't relocated to the root of the utils collection if they already exist in a sub-collection
• ensure the panel operator's BMesh instance is not prematurely freed during operation
• ensure the utils collection is included in the current view layer when utils are created or recalled
• move the vertices/edges selected polling methods into the invoke method for the edge_bevel, vertex_bevel, and clear_vgs operators to avoid freeing any existing object's BMesh instance

Misc

• remove automatic Bool prefix from util object names
• replace harsher ERROR_INVALID_INPUT operator reports with INFO

Changelog

Features

• add duplicate utility operator and corresponding fast menu integration
• add pipe extrude operator and corresponding fast menu integration
• add the option to clear/remove drivers (and retain existing values) to the sync modifiers operator
• 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)

Changelog

Bug Fixes

• ensure that only one triangulate modifier is applied to an object when running the operator multiple times
• ensure the triangulate modifier is placed/pinned at the end of the mod stack
• ensure the triangulate modifier is removed from boolean utility objects
• improve F2 add-on/extension detection and subsequent Fast menu "Make Edge/Face" prediction
• improve operator polling and the edit mode predictions in the Fast menu

Changelog

Bug Fixes

• ensure all bmesh instances are freed after use to prevent memory leaks
• fix ND N-panel toggle-utils shortcut icon registration error

Changelog

Features

• add a linked version of smart duplicate (equivalent to Blender's ALT + D)
• add extended mouse behaviour support (scroll on bevels to change segment count)
• add extended mouse value support to recon poly (scroll to adjust segments)
• add freeze state option to modifier mode in the cycle operator (retain mod visibility states on exit)
• add mirror, profile extrude, and screw operators to the edit mode fast menu
• add option to change overlay reset key behaviour to unlock instead of hard-reset
• add option to customise the Utils collection icon color
• add option to lock overlay parameters on recall
• add option to remove triangulate modifiers via the CTRL alt-mode convention
• add SHIFT+T shortcut for toggle utils
• add smart duplicate operator (copy selected object/s with all associated utilities)
• add symmetrize option to mirror operator for immediate application
• add sync modifiers operator (experimental feature)
• allow apply modifiers to be run on curve objects in selection set (will convert them to mesh)
• allow bulk operators to be executed as long as mesh objects are in the selected group (e.g., ignore empties)
• allow profile extrude, screw, mirror, and circularize operators to be run from edit mode
• allow the isolated object util toggle operator to be run on composite utils

Bug Fixes

• ensure that all util objects are toggled (including empties) when using the isolated object mode in toggle utils
• ensure that all utils and composited utils are recursively selected when toggling or duplicating
• fix Blender 4.2 SBA crash and improve SBA/WN across various versions
• only attempt to preserve custom normals when running triangulate in Blender <4.2
