Fixed: Pressing Enter to begin numeric input not working correctly for Numpad.Automatic duplication and arrays of objects and geometry.Extrude and cut-through meshes, object rotations, horizontal guides and direction locks.Cut into existing geometry by drawing onto existing faces (Construction Lines will automatically create the extra required geometry), allowing shapes to be extruded in and out of existing meshes.Accurate object movement with snap points or numeric input.Auto snap to Perpendicular edge direction and edge extensions.Limit drawing and movement to the X, Y or Z axes.Build lines, shapes and guides to exact size with numeric input (including mathematical operators * / + -).Use lines or shapes to cut into or divide existing geometry.Lines will automatically fill in faces where geometry is closed.Draw lines simply by clicking and dragging in the 3D viewport.Build rectangles, circles and arcs anywhere in your scene.Create snappable guide edges and points.

"Your add-on Construction Lines is becoming a saviour and a game-changer for many SketchUp users" This little tool is saving me a lot of time." "Coming from a CAD and 3DSMAx background - this adds alignment and geometry-based snaps missing for so long in Blender.

NOTE: Construction Lines is currently in Beta and is regularly updated with fixes and improvements.īlender Products Supported: 2.91 - 3.4LTSĪCCLAIM "A big thank you for all your effort in creating this sophisticated beautiful add-on" If you come from software packages such as SketchUp this is a perfect way to get started with Blender Drawing shapes onto existing faces will automatically cut into the existing face.Ĭonstruction Lines works seamlessly between Object and Edit modes in Blender.įull Documentation and Installation Instructions here These can be drawn from anywhere on a 3D model without the need for Blender's 3D cursor to define an Add location.

Guides edges will disappear when working outside of Construction Lines and neither Guide Edges nor Guide Points will be rendered.Ĭonstruction Lines allows for rectangles, circles, and arcs to be drawn in place from precise snap points on existing geometry or guides.

The guides won't interfere with model geometry and can be toggled off and on when required. Guide edges and points allow for a construction workflow where guides are set and models are then constructed within these guides. Build snappable guide points and edges, draw lines and primitive shapes in place, automatically create faces in closed geometry, precisely move, duplicate and rotate geometry around a scene and cut-through meshes with extrude. Construction Lines is a tool for accurate CAD style modelling.
