  Great addon. It's very easy to use and being able to edit everything in real time makes the workflow much easier.

  It is a terrible tool—completely useless.
  Select an edge > Right-click and select PanelCutter > Instead of the expected result, it produces horribly broken, fragmented polygons > It’s just a waste of time.

  Hey, sorry you didnt get the expected results. If you wouldn't mind, could you send me a screenshot of the topology its producing for you?

  I completely agree with the previous comment – this add-on is really frustrating.
  In the video everything looks simple and intuitive, but in practice it just doesn’t work that way. Even after following all the given tips, you don’t get clean panel lines – instead you end up with distorted or disappearing faces. The whole system with masks and thresholds feels far too sensitive and unpredictable.
  The idea itself is great, but the implementation is not user-friendly at all and falls far short of what the showcase video promises.

  Hey Jean, sorry to hear you had issues with it. If you wouldn't mind, could you please send me a scene with the errors you are encountering so I can take a look at whats going on?

  does not work right. Trying to add panel lines to Suzanne and it either turns parts invisible or only gives the subtle hint of something happening. No proper lines ever show. Also lacks creasing despite the demonstration making it seem like it has creased edges. And the panel line settings are global for the whole object. I can't separate for different parts. So even if it would work, it is super limited and basic

  I would try the following suggestions to fix your issues. If you find they help please reconsider 1 star as most of what you are describing is user error.

  1) Its turning parts invisible because you need any least 2 polygons between panel lines as this uses vertex groups to drive the masking (this is mentioned on the product page). So if you are working on very low poly geo you may have issues.
  2) You only see subtle panel lines when you first run the tool because you haven't enabled thickness / increased the bevel segments so you wont see any smoothing information on your mesh. (try 4 segments with thickness enabled and you will get the results you are after.
  3) The addon doesn't use creasing, it uses support loops which are added when you increase the bevel count to 4 (or add a subD modifier under the panel cutter settings)
  4) This is a non destructive tool designed to help concept panel lines before committing anything to topology. If you want separated panels, collapse the modifier stack down and split them out manually.
