Installation & Quick Start

1. Installation

• Download the radcut-1.0.0.zip file. Do not unzip it.
• In Blender: go to Edit ▸ Preferences ▸ Get Extensions, open the menu in the top right corner, choose Install from Disk..., and pick the zip.
• RadCut appears in the 3D Viewport sidebar (N key) under the RadCut tab, in the Object ▸ RadCut Cutaway menu, in the right-click menu, and on Shift+Alt+X.

2. Quick Start (30 seconds)

1. Select the objects you want to cut. A whole assembly is fine: children are included automatically.
2. In Sidebar ▸ RadCut, click a shape: Plane, Box, Wedge, or Corner.
3. The viewport switches to Material Preview so you can see the cut (the cut is a material effect and doesn't show in Solid mode).
4. Move, rotate and scale the red cutter object to shape the cut. Everything updates live.

Important Tips & Requirements

• Requirements: Blender 4.2 LTS or newer. Works with Cycles (CPU and GPU) and EEVEE.
• Closed Meshes: Caps require closed (watertight) meshes. Open meshes will show the inside of the shell instead. Use the built-in Fix Open tool if needed.
• Animation: The cap settings themselves are not animatable. You animate the cutter object.
• Linked Objects: Linked (library) objects and materials cannot be edited and are skipped – make them local to cut them.

For detailed information on all cap styles, animation settings, and troubleshooting, please refer to the included full PDF User Guide.
