Machete Toolkit for Blender

A comprehensive mesh editing toolkit that enhances Blender's workflow with smart geometry tools, interactive placement systems, and streamlined selection management.

🚀 Key Features

Smart Geometry Tools

• Edge Flow Correction - Automatically adjusts selected edges to flow naturally with surrounding geometry
• Circularize - Transforms selected vertices into perfect circles while preserving 3D orientation
• Edge to Curve Converter - Interactive tool that converts selected edges to curves with real-time bevel control
• Straighten Edge Loops - Two modes: J-method for topology changes or axis-based for position adjustments

Intelligent Placement System

• AutoFit Lattice - Creates minimum-volume lattices perfectly aligned to your selection's longest dimensions
• Grab & Place Tool - Interactive object placement with automatic ground offset and face snapping
• Face Align - Visual alignment tool for precisely matching face orientations between objects
• Align Pivot - Smart cursor positioning based on selected geometry with automatic transform orientation

Selection Management

• Selection Saver - Store and recall up to 20 different selections (configurable) across edit and object modes
• Quick Slots - One-click save/restore with visual indicators for filled slots
• Cross-Mode Support - Seamlessly handles vertex, edge, face, and object selections

Workflow Enhancers

• Modifier Copy/Paste - Selective modifier copying with dialog-based selection
• X-Ray Toggle - Instant transparent material swapping for selection visibility
• Customizable Pie Menu - Quick access to all tools with configurable hotkeys (default: Shift+E)

💡 Smart Design Philosophy

Machete Toolkit focuses on solving real workflow pain points with intelligent automation:

• Context-Aware: Tools adapt behavior based on your current selection and mode
