Why we like it

Advanced Boolean Toolkit earns its place in the superhive library for consolidating Blender's boolean workflow into one KSYN panel, pairing one-click operations with automatic modifier ordering and BOOL collection organization.

What is Advanced Boolean Toolkit?

Advanced Boolean Toolkit is a Blender add-on from Hydrocallis that brings boolean operations together under a single panel. It offers four operation modes: Slice Mode for clean cuts, Single Mode for one object, Multi-Object Mode for batch-processing multiple selected objects, and Union Mode based on the active object. One-click buttons handle Difference, Union, Intersect, and Advanced Slice.

Its slicing tools go beyond a basic split. Basic Slice divides objects, Intersect Slice preserves cut surfaces, and Gap Slice automatically generates gaps during slicing, with customizable gap size, independent gap scaling on the X, Y, and Z axes, and position offset. Duplicates can be linked or independent. The add-on also manages modifiers, adding or removing triangulation, optimizing modifier order after boolean operations, and applying all modifiers at once.

Visual management covers object visibility toggles, wireframe display for boolean helper objects, and render visibility control, with related objects automatically parented and organized into a dedicated BOOL collection. All controls live in the KSYN tab of the 3D Viewport sidebar, complete with custom icons, a real-time status display, and a Japanese and English interface.

Who is Advanced Boolean Toolkit best for?

Advanced Boolean Toolkit is best for blender modelers who work regularly with boolean operations and want them managed from a single panel.

How much does Advanced Boolean Toolkit cost?

Advanced Boolean Toolkit is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Advanced Boolean Toolkit work with Blender 4.2?

Advanced Boolean Toolkit requires Blender 3.0.0 or later, and its marketplace listing notes compatibility with Blender versions 4.2 through 5.0. If you are on Blender 4.2, it falls within that supported range. It installs as an add-on through Blender's Preferences, and all of its tools appear in the KSYN tab of the 3D Viewport sidebar once enabled. For the most current compatibility details, check the developer's page before installing.

How do I install Advanced Boolean Toolkit in Blender?

Advanced Boolean Toolkit installs like a standard Blender add-on. Open Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, click Install, select the downloaded ZIP file, then enable Advanced Boolean Toolkit in the list. Once active, all features are available from the KSYN tab in the right sidebar of the 3D Viewport. The add-on requires Blender 3.0.0 or later, so make sure your Blender version meets that minimum before enabling it.

Where do I find Advanced Boolean Toolkit's controls in Blender?

Advanced Boolean Toolkit places all of its controls in the KSYN tab, found in the 3D Viewport's right sidebar. The panel includes a Boolean Objects Status section that shows the target object name and active operation type, along with visibility toggles, modifier viewport controls, and an apply button. Operation buttons cover Slice, Single, Multi-Object, and Union modes, plus apply and wireframe toggles. Custom icons and a real-time status display help identify each operation.

Is Advanced Boolean Toolkit free, and what license does it use?

Advanced Boolean Toolkit is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before downloading. The add-on carries a version number of 1.0, which is worth confirming if you want to be sure you are getting the latest release from the source page.

What is the difference between the Slice, Single, Multi-Object, and Union modes in Advanced Boolean Toolkit?

Advanced Boolean Toolkit provides four modes. Slice Mode cleanly cuts objects, Single Mode applies a boolean operation to a single object, and Multi-Object Mode batch-processes multiple selected objects at once. Union Mode performs union operations based on the active object. Alongside these, one-click Difference, Union, and Intersect operations handle common tasks, while Advanced Slice adds automatic gap generation with customizable gap size and independent gap scaling on the X, Y, and Z axes.
