Major Release ReFace 2.0 Precision Modeling Hard-Surface / CAD Cleanup
ReFace 2.0 Add-on
ReFace is a precision modeling toolkit for Blender built around mesh cleanup, CAD-style measurement, reference-based editing, retopology helpers, viewport overlays, and object isolation.
Use it to inspect geometry, set exact lengths and angles, rebuild circular loops, clean boolean cuts, create reference planes, align selections, and repair hard-surface meshes without constantly jumping between disconnected tools.

What Makes ReFace 2.0 Different
01 / ViewMode
Live Measurement Overlay
Inspect edge lengths, angles, radii, face areas, normals, loop perimeters, and min/max edge indicators directly in the viewport.
02 / CAD Edits
Drag Lengths, Angles, Radii
Adjust selected edge lengths, edge angles, and circle radii using viewport drag handles or exact input tools.
03 / Cleanup
Repair Broken Meshes
Clean boolean cuts, rebuild circle loops, refill face islands, and retopologize selected areas with guided workflows.
04 / References
Work From Edges & Planes
Store reference edges or planes, then align, project, mirror, and rebuild geometry from stable world-space references.

Few Demos of the New Tools!
1. ReFace ViewMode + Drag Handles
ReFace ViewMode, live overlay feedback, and precision viewport workflow.
2. Mirror Selection from Reference
Mirror vertex, edge, or face selections across a stored reference edge or reference plane.
3. Corner Guided Grid Refill
Rebuild selected face islands with a guided corner-based grid refill workflow.
4. Adjust Circle / Match Active Circle

Core Workflow Areas
Live ViewMode Measurements
ReFace ViewMode turns the viewport into a live inspection surface. Use it to check dimensions, angles, circular loops, face information, and topology problems while staying in edit mode.
- Edge lengths
- Edge angles
- Circle radii
- Face areas and face normals
- Loop perimeters
- Min/max edge indicators
- Parallel and perpendicular indicators
- Quick HUD actions
Exact Measurement Tools
ReFace keeps the original CAD-style measurement tools and expands them with radius and interactive workflows.
- Set Edge Length: set an exact edge length.
- Match Active Edge Length: match selected edges to the active edge.
- Set Edge Angle: set the angle between connected edges.
- Set Circle Radius: set circular loop radius.
- Drag Handles: adjust lengths, angles, and radii visually.
Reference-Based Editing
Store a reference edge or reference plane, then use it as a stable guide for alignment, projection, mirroring, orientation, and cleanup operations.
- Set Alignment Reference from edge, face, two vertices, or three vertices.
- Align vertex or edge to reference edge.
- Project vertices to reference face or plane.
- Mirror selection from reference edge or plane.
- Align object to active face.
- Align disconnected edges parallel or perpendicular to active edge.
Mirror Selection from Reference
Mirror the current vertex, edge, or face selection using a stored reference edge or reference plane. This is useful for repeating cleanup work across symmetrical details without manually reselecting geometry.
- Reference Edge Mirror: mirror selections across a stored edge direction.
- Reference Plane Mirror: mirror selections across a stored face or three-vertex plane.
- Works with vertex, edge, and face selections for flexible edit-mode cleanup.

Ideal For
- Hard-surface modelers who need exact dimensions and cleaner topology.
- CAD-style Blender workflows where faces, loops, circles, and angles need to be controlled.
- Boolean cleanup after cuts, holes, bevels, and repair work.
- Mesh repair and retopology where selection tools and guided rebuilds save time.
Why Use ReFace?
- Work faster without constantly switching tools, panels, and manual setup steps.

- Use references, orientations, and overlays to keep edits controlled.
- Clean and rebuild hard-surface details with fewer repetitive operations.

Project Vertices to Reference Plane / Face
Project selected vertices onto a stored reference face or reference plane.
Projection Example
Additional reference-plane projection workflow for cleanup and planar correction.

- Sector Decomposition: break hole-containing regions into editable sectors using radial splits while reusing the existing quad-patch solver.
- Display Mode: Focus Mode has been removed and replaced by Display Mode for sub-island inspection and corner editing; Display Mode count editing remains experimental.
- Dynamic Edges: no longer experimental and now part of the standard workflow.
- Knife Tool: create new splits directly with anchor, spline-point, snapping, and hard-point workflows.

Notes
- For face references and object alignment, use planar faces for best results.
- Some precision tools require specific selection types, such as one edge, two connected edges, a closed loop, or an active element.
- Retopology and cleanup tools are destructive by design. Save your work or duplicate important geometry before large rebuild operations.
