This is a very intuitive add-on and it works great. I haven't had any issues with crashing or traceback errors. I would recommend this to anyone, well worth the $20.

Great tool for Blender 2.8 - Easy to learn it and easy to use it. I highly recommend it.

Thanks a lot for your support.
Since the release of the 2.80 I almost no longer use the 2.79 and this addon is very efficient, for hard surface modeling.
I look forward to the new functions, thank you for your good work.

Thanks for your support.
The add-on is fantastic! A great purchase. There are still a few things that could be improved:
It would be great to have something similar to a Chamfer but from the bottom, to help with shape creation. Also, having side selection options like Vertex selection in the First Bevel would be awesome if it worked similarly in the Second Bevel, not just top/bottom.
The most important improvement would be making shape creation more intuitive. Currently, creating from different directions causes faces to overlap. It would be better if it worked more like shape creation in the Grid Modeler add-on.
Additionally, if possible, it would be helpful to add a bevel at the junctions where shapes/boolean objects connect. I'm not sure if this is achievable, but I wanted to share ideas that would make this add-on a perfect 10/10.

Hello Mariusz,
thank you for your message and for sharing your idea 😁
I never thinked Chamfer from bottom could be useful it's why it's only from the top 😅
About other point, it's already possible :
- you can freely draw shape with the "shape" drawing type.
- you can add a bevel at junctions by clicking on "add bevel" in the pie menu
Do not hesitate to join the Discord to ask question and share improvement ideas.
Have a nice day, Rudy
Stress-free hard surface modeling is a given, but not stress-free modeling it requires watching the tutorial videos. The functionality seems to be working, and this system is interesting and crazy fast, yet surprisingly simple—a very nifty tool for hard surface modeling. However, there's a significant issue with cloth—it's not working. The error message "Instant Mesh path is empty, check preferences" indicates a problem. I attempted this on version 3.5 stable and am currently on 3.6. It really needs an update to fix this. Just to clarify, I'm using Linux. Other than that, it works okay.

Hello Patrick,
The cloth tool works with all OS. I think you didn't know, but a documentation is available. You will learn to know how to install this feature :

Have a nice day,

Great tool for hardsurface concept design. Really fast and intuitive.
Besides new circular menus I'd like to have simple grid navigation.
Bonjour Rudy, merci pour l'excellent travail.
S'il vous plaît ne surchargez pas l'add-on comme ça.
J'aime la facilité d'utilisation.
Pretty useful tool, works great in most cases. Cable and pipe features are easy to use and can really save your time. (Still can't get used to the new interface, but it's a matter of time I think)
While I like the fact Boxcutter and Fluent go hand-in-hand, I'd love to see some kind of retopology feature, similar to QuadWrap. That alone, for me, would be an instant seller. Sadly Quadwrap is far too highly priced.
At first I always had python error and the add-on's menu froze in place and I had to restart blender, I had some issues understanding how it works, but after two days I'm finally getting it, and it's awesome, it speeded up my workflow drastically, and I love it! there are still a few annoyances, but nothing to get upset to.
I can't wait to future updates!
