AV: Bisect earns its place as a focused reimagining of Blender's native Bisect tool, trading the standard workflow's manual plane setup for plane creation driven by a selected vertex, edge, or face and a dedicated 3D cursor cutting mode.
AV: Bisect reworks Blender's built-in Bisect tool as an add-on aimed at cutting meshes with more flexibility. Its Precise Plane Creation generates the cutting plane from a selected vertex, edge, or face, which speeds up preparing each cut instead of setting the plane manually.
A separate 3D Cursor Cutting mode lets you position the cursor and cut directly through it. In that mode, the 3D cursor can be moved with the D hotkey and the Merge Distance is adjustable. All controls are consolidated into a single panel, keeping the focus on the model. The add-on is designed for 3D artists and modelers who value precision and efficiency, especially in hard-surface workflows.
It runs on Blender versions 4.1 through 5.0, works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines, and is distributed under the GPL license. The current version is 1.1.5, with recent updates adding 3D cursor movement and an adjustable Merge Distance, plus performance improvements.
Av: Bisect is best for 3D artists and modelers who value precision and efficiency, particularly those working in hard-surface modeling within Blender.
Av: Bisect is completely free to download and use.
AV: Bisect lists Blender compatibility from 4.1 through 5.0 and is marked as a compatible Blender extension. It ships as an add-on and works with both the Cycles and Eevee render engines, so it fits projects built around either. The current version is 1.1.5. If you run a Blender build outside the stated 4.1 to 5.0 range, check the developer's page before installing, since compatibility beyond that window isn't confirmed here.
AV: Bisect is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so it is worth confirming the current details on the developer's page before you rely on it for a project. As a GPL add-on it follows the open licensing model common across Blender extensions. For any questions specific to your situation, the developer's page is the place to verify what applies.
AV: Bisect includes a 3D Cursor Cutting mode where you position the cursor and perform a precise cut directly through it. In Cursor mode you can move the 3D cursor with the D hotkey, added in version 1.1.1, and the Merge Distance is adjustable so you can tune how the cut merges geometry. This gives you a cursor-driven way to place cuts alongside the plane-based approach, with the relevant controls sitting in the add-on's single panel.
AV: Bisect generates the cutting plane based on a selected vertex, edge, or face, which speeds up preparing a cut compared with setting the plane manually. This is the Precise Plane Creation feature, aimed at 3D artists and modelers working in hard-surface workflows where placement matters. All of the tool's controls are consolidated into a single panel, so you can set up and adjust the plane without hunting through scattered menus. It is built as a focused reimagining of Blender's standard Bisect tool.

Smart Extrude is a Blender addon that reworks the extrude tool so it ignores the mesh, letting you extrude without the extra steps of connecting and deleting geometry. It can also be used for model repair.
