Why we like it

Archimesh earns its place as one of the more popular add-ons on the Blender extensions site, carried over from Blender's former bundled add-ons and now community-maintained, offered as it is with limited support.

What is Archimesh?

Archimesh is a Blender add-on for generating rooms, doors, windows, and other architecture objects. Its tools are located in the View3D → Add Mesh menu and in the Create tab of the sidebar, and the add-on requires no special permissions to install or run.

Originally written by Antonio Vazquez, Archimesh was part of Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons. It's now offered as it is, with limited support, and is maintained by the community rather than a dedicated team.

The current release is version 1.2.5, last updated in May 2024, and lists compatibility with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. It's distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. For documentation, downloads, and the latest details, the developer's page is the place to look.
