Tachyon Guides

The guides you know from CAD software, in Blender. In a CAD program you draw construction lines that aren't part of the model and snap to them, to their crossings and along them; Tachyon Guides brings that way of working to Blender. Select an edge and press Ctrl + Alt + G: an endless guide runs along it, in its own colour, and where two guides cross there is a point. Then move with G and hold Ctrl: Blender's own snapping slides your selection along the guides and lands it exactly on the crossings. Alt + G does the same with a magnet, and the Guides tab lists every guide, lighting each one up as you hover its row.

⚠ Pure Blender, and nothing to configure. No external tool and no network use of any kind — it opens no sockets, sends no telemetry and checks no licence. One package covers Blender 3.3 to 5.2: a modern extension on 4.2+, a classic add-on on 3.3 – 4.1. Ctrl + Alt + G takes over Blender's Remove from Vertex Group and Remove from Collection keys (both stay in their menus, and the key can be changed); everything else of Blender's is untouched.
