mesh_tinyCAD is a small set of CAD style functions for Blender. These are similar to the standard features that I love in industrial 2D/3D drafting software. The functions are implemented in a way that makes sense inside Blender. These functions are generally bug free but if you think you've found something please report the issue here.

VTX

VTX will automatically do the following:

  • extend edges towards their intersection (V and T)
  • intersect / weld two crossing edges (X)

V2X

V2X places a new vertex at the (projected) intersection of two selected edges. Without modifying the existing geometry

XALL

XALL intersects / welds all selected edges. This is like the X mode of the VTX operating on many selected edges.

E2F

E2F extends one side of a selected edge towards a selected face.

BIX

BIX makes the bisector of two selected edges. The edges may share a vertex, but don't have to. Edges must be coplanar for the bisector to make sense. Notice: For both scenarios this function will make guide geometry which is not attached to the original geometry.

CCEN

CCEN reconstructs a circle, the minimal requirement is that you can select 3 vertices of a degenerate circle. Useful for when you've deleted part of the circle geometry and want to find the centroid to place the 3d cursor, or if you want to make a circle with a different vertex count or radius.
