B.B. Tools Add-On earns its place in the Blender library by collecting 31 modeling utilities behind a single Edit Mode menu, backed by a 64-page manual and a video review.
B.B. Tools Add-On is a Blender add-on from Blender Bash that adds a custom menu to the 3D View editor menus, appearing in Edit Mode. From that menu you reach a set of custom-made tools built to improve and speed up modeling in Blender.
The add-on bundles 31 tools covering a range of modeling operations. They include Array Linear and Array Radial, deform tools such as Bend, Twist, Taper, Stretch Deform, Shear and Curve deform, and extrude tools such as Extrude Edges and Faces with Loopcuts, Extruder along Path and Upright Extruder. Others cover shapes such as Circle++, Ellipse++, Grid 3D, Grid Hexagon, Grid Triangle, Quad, Quad Sphere and Tubes, alongside Mirror, Screw, Solidify, Inset, Offset, Fill Curve and Wireframe.
Documentation includes an extensive 64-page user guide covering every tool, and a full video review is available. The add-on is marked as Blender Extension compatible and distributed under the GPL license, with updates released across Blender 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2.
B.B. Tools Add-On is best for blender artists who want a bundle of custom modeling tools accessible from an Edit Mode menu.
B.B. Tools Add-On is completely free to download and use.
B.B. Tools Add-On has shipped updates tracking recent Blender releases: version 1.1.3 for Blender 4.0, version 1.1.4 for Blender 4.1, and version 2.1.1 for Blender 4.2. The listing marks it as Blender Extension compatible and records a Blender version of 5.0. Because the add-on has been revised across several Blender versions, check the developer's page for the exact release you plan to run on before installing.
B.B. Tools Add-On adds a custom menu into the 3D View editor menus, and it appears when you are in Edit Mode. From that menu you reach the 31 custom-made tools the add-on provides, covering arrays, deforms, extrudes, shapes and more. The developer also offers a 64-page user guide documenting every tool, so you can look up how each one is used once you have opened the menu.
B.B. Tools Add-On is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. The add-on is published by Blender Bash and marked as available, with the listing noting it has been around for roughly two years and gathered a number of sales.
B.B. Tools Add-On comes with documentation, including an extensive 64-page user guide that covers all of its tools. A full video review of the add-on is also available on YouTube.
