Exploded Assembly Kit
Can I use it for client and commercial work?
Yes. The add-ons are GPL-licensed. Your renders, exported models and parts lists belong to you and can be used commercially without restriction.
Do I have to use the three add-ons together?
No. Each add-on works on its own and has its own tab in the sidebar. The kit simply covers the whole workflow: count, explode, number, export.
Can I use the result on the web?
Yes. Export with File → Export → glTF 2.0, with Custom Properties and Animation ticked. The GLB carries the BOM item numbers, the explode animation and the callouts. CalloutTag also exports a JSON file with each callout’s position and text, and BOM Tag exports the parts list as JSON. A live demo viewer is linked in the description.
Does it work with STEP or other CAD imports?
Yes. That’s the main use case. BOM Tag finds identical parts even when the importer named them Body12.003, and ExplodeView works with parts whose origins all sit at world zero, as is common with CAD imports, because it uses each part’s actual geometry.
Do the callout numbers sync automatically with the BOM item numbers?
Not automatically in this version. BOM Tag writes the item number on every part (bom_item), and you give each callout the same number in CalloutTag. You can reorder callouts and they renumber automatically, so matching the parts list takes a few clicks. Automatic syncing is planned.
I already own one of these add-ons. Can I get a discount on the kit?
Superhive doesn’t deduct products you already own from a bundle automatically. Send me a message with your order number and I’ll send you a coupon for the difference.
What’s included?
Three add-ons: BOM Tag (parts list: finds identical parts, cleans CAD names, exports CSV/JSON/Markdown), ExplodeView (live exploded views with a slider, trace lines and animation) and CalloutTag (numbered 3D callouts with leader lines). You get the full version of each, identical to the products sold separately.
