Bool Manager — Documentation

Bool Manager is a Blender addon designed to simplify and organize boolean operations through an intuitive, visual, and efficient interface.

Installation

1. Download the .zip file from Superhive or techqon-core.com

2. In Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install

3. Select the .zip file and activate Bool Manager

4. You’ll find it in the N panel under the tab Bool Manager

Panel Overview

Bool Manager adds a new panel with two main sections:

Boolean Operations Tool

• Add as Boolean: Adds selected objects as cutters and lets you choose a target

• Search for Bool Objects: Filter existing boolean objects in the scene

• Global Settings:

  • Auto Hide: Hides boolean objects after applying

  • Show as Wire: Displays boolean objects as wireframe

  • Exact Mode: Uses Blender's exact boolean solver

Basic Workflow

1. Select one or more objects to use as cutters

2. Click Add as Boolean

3. Click on an object in the viewport to assign it as the target

4. The operation is automatically applied and grouped

Boolean Groups

Bool Manager organizes operations into groups for clarity and control.

Group Interface:

• Target: The object being cut

• Boolean Objects: The cutters used in the operation

• Icons:

  • Toggle visibility of cutters

  • Toggle wireframe display

  • Toggle between Fast and Exact mode

Group Actions:

• Rename group: Click the group name

• Add Selected to Group: Add new cutters to the current group

• Add Selected as Target: Change or add target objects

Global Settings Explained

Tips & Best Practices

• Boolean objects are automatically deselected during target selection

• You can add multiple targets or multiple cutters per group

• Use Fast Mode for quick previews, and Exact Mode for final accuracy

• You can disable Auto Hide if you want to keep cutters visible

• Works great for hard surface modeling, sci-fi assets, and modular environments

Example Use Case

1. Create a base mesh (e.g. a sci-fi crate)

2. Add multiple spheres/cylinders as boolean cutters

3. Use Add as Boolean to target the base

4. Group your operations for better control

5. Tweak visibility, wireframe and precision modes as needed

Shortcuts

There are no keymap shortcuts by default. All actions are performed through the Bool Manager panel.

Compatibility

• Blender 3.5+

• Compatible with all object types that support the boolean modifier

• Works alongside other modifiers and workflows
