Add Positive Cube earns its spot in the Blender Extensions library as a compact, single-purpose utility: a cube that spawns with its origin at the corner. With over 12,000 downloads and a 1.9 KB footprint, it targets one specific modelling need, keeping the origin on the ground or a vertical surface during scaling.
Add Positive Cube is a Blender add-on that adds a cube with its origin positioned at the corner rather than at the centre. That placement makes it suited to scaling operations where you want the origin to stay on the ground or against a vertical surface.
The add-on lives in the 3D View under the Add Mesh menu. Version 1.1.0 refactored the code and adjusted the workflow so that all other objects are deselected before the new cube is added, matching Blender's default add mesh behaviour.
Add Positive Cube is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, requires no special permissions, and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. At roughly 1.9 KB it is a small, focused utility, and it sits at rank 312 in the Blender Extensions library with over 12,000 downloads. Installation is handled by dragging the add-on into Blender or using Install from Disk.
Add Positive Cube is best for blender users who need a cube whose origin sits at the corner for scaling against the ground or a vertical surface.
