✦ New in v1.8

+ Raycast snap engine — O(log n), instant on dense meshes

+ "On Surface" snap — objects always take priority over the Work Plane

+ Saved Work Planes — name, store and restore planes from the sidebar (saved in the .blend)

+ Always-visible Work Plane — your custom WP stays on screen permanently

+ Persistent Auto-WP — the Edit-Mode auto plane can stay active after the tool

+ Gumball — native combined gizmo, pivoted at selection center, aligned to the WP

+ Coordinate input — press = to type exact X / Y / Z in the WP frame

+ Loft v2 — auto seam/direction alignment (no spiral), smooth interpolation

+ Loft: Closed Loft + Cap Ends for sealed looping volumes

+ Knife — snap-precise surface cutting that follows your drawn path exactly

+ Split by Plane — 3-point cut plane: incise (Edit) or split-separate-cap (Object)

+ Redo panels added to every creation tool (cylinder, cone, sphere, pyramid, tube, polygon…)

⚙ Fixed in v1.8

→ Dense imported meshes (CAD/sync) failing to snap — root cause removed

→ Snap reaching through objects to the ground plane behind them

→ Latency on large scenes — vectorized extraction + cached lite KDTree

→ Inset Face deformed after a 1D/2D scale — now computed in world space

→ Mirror axis followed the camera instead of the Work Plane

→ Array freezing the viewport on large counts (preview now budgeted)

→ Icosphere creation moving an existing object instead of creating one

→ Eight F9 redo panels that displayed but did nothing

→ Custom Work Plane only visible while a tool was running

→ Edge Point snap drifting on receding edges (now perspective-correct, exact under the cursor)

→ NxM array parsing unified; dead code removed; version strings corrected

▦ Saved Work Planes

Set a plane on a façade, a roof slope or a section cut, name it, and recall it instantly from the sidebar list. Update or delete entries as your project evolves. Stored in the .blend, so they survive across sessions — one ordered set of construction planes per scene.

◎ Gumball

A single sidebar checkbox brings up Blender's combined Move / Rotate / Scale gizmo, pivoted at the center of the selected geometry and aligned to the active Work Plane. Define a plane on an inclined surface and every manipulation happens in that frame.

⊂ Loft v2

Closed-section lofts no longer spiral: section direction and seam are optimized together, so circles and profiles stack cleanly. Adds smooth Catmull-Rom interpolation through sections, a Closed Loft option that loops back to the first section, and Cap Ends for watertight volumes.

⌨ Coordinate Input

During any tool that asks for a point, press = and type exact X / Y / Z values expressed in the active Work Plane frame (or world if none). Tab between axes, then click to place — CAD-style numeric entry, right in the viewport.

✂ Knife

Draw a cut path across a surface by clicking snapped points. The seam follows your line exactly — segment by segment, only on the faces you draw over — and the mesh stays joined. Resolves each segment from its midpoint so cuts spanning shared edges land cleanly, with no spill onto adjacent faces.

▱ Split by Plane

Define a cut plane with three snapped points (origin, X, Y) with a live plane preview. In Edit Mode it incises every surface the plane crosses; in Object Mode it splits the whole object, separates the two halves into distinct objects, and caps each section into a closed volume.
