Please consider sharing CAD sketcher to help spread the message of the project. Alternatively, put a 0 in the input to get it for free. Minimum version: Blender 3.0 More than just an addon learn more: ĬAD Sketcher is FREE & Opensource, with that said if you feel that the project has earned your support please go Click Here to learn how you can help this project go further. Please Note: This is addon is very much a work in progress and quite experimental thus don't use it on production files without a backup. These Sketches are then converted into beziers or mesh which still stay editable through a fully non-destructive workflow i.e, Geometry nodes and modifiers. This tool make symmetry of one or all parts of the project so lets see how it works.A constraint-based sketcher addon created by hlorus for Blender that allows you to create precise 2d shapes by defining CAD geometric constraints like tangents, distances, angles, equal and more.

Now the object have the correct units for the project! To gain access to the properties options just press “N”.

So just go to the Scene tab and choose the proper units system to do the job. In projects that demand precision we must enable Blender Metrics first, so we can see the correct sizes of the parts, diameter etc.

YES of course! Its so easy and can make you work faster! So lets see how it works, starting with the native precision tools! Hi folks Your Favourite 3dprinterchat blogger Mr G Razgriz here!Įveryday someone asks me about precision modeling using Blender and/or if it has some tools and commands like a CAD software have. 1.1 Related CAD tools on Blender? Yes we can!
