What's New in V1.1.1
Updated October 2026. Thanks to everyone who sends feedback, it really helps.
Easy Vertex Picking
Get close to a corner and the vertex is picked, no need to hit it exactly.
Pick From Outside
Pick vertices and edges on the edge of your mesh from just outside it.
Ready for Blender 5
Works on Blender 4.2 up to 5.2, with a clear hover highlight on Vulkan and high DPI screens.
Loop and Ring Fixed
Double click loops and Alt + click rings work again on Blender 5.1 and 5.2.
Modifiers and Heavy Meshes
Works with Bevel and Subdivision Surface, skips hidden faces, and stays smooth on dense meshes.
