Bmesh Clean earns its place in the superhive library by folding a familiar cleanup checklist — delete loose, merge by distance, recalculate normals, smoothing — into a one-pass workflow with saveable presets. It carries a 4-star rating from 19 reviews and lists 1800+ sales, and the developer is a Blender Dev Fund contributor.
Bmesh Clean is a Blender add-on from Andrew_D that gathers common mesh cleanup steps into one automated pass. It targets models imported from software like SketchUp, handling the repetitive fixes so you can stay focused on design rather than mesh surgery.
With a single click you can execute a full cleanup sequence on a selected object or a group of objects, producing a clean, optimized mesh ready for shading and export. Individual operations are available too, including Limited Dissolve, Tris to Quads, Triangulate, Recalculate or Flip Normals, Delete Loose, Merge By Distance, and Shade Smooth with an Auto Smooth Angle for consistent shading across multiple objects. After each run, detailed results show what was modified so you can inspect the changes before exporting.
You can control all cleanup properties and save them as a preset on your computer, then reload it to reproduce the same pipeline across projects. Documentation links sit in each section of the add-on, so a right-click on the (?) icons opens the matching online docs. Bmesh Clean works with Blender 3.0 to 5.1 and is released under the GPL license.
Bmesh Clean Add-On is best for cleaning up meshes imported from software like SketchUp, and batch-applying dissolve, merge, normal and smoothing fixes across multiple objects at once.
Bmesh Clean Add-On is completely free to download and use.
Bmesh Clean is listed as compatible with Blender versions 3.0 through 5.1 and is marked as Blender Extension compatible. If your Blender install falls within that range, the add-on's cleanup operations and preset system should be available to you. For versions outside that window, or to confirm the current supported range before installing, check the developer's page, since compatibility can shift with new releases of the add-on and of Blender itself.
Bmesh Clean can process a group of objects in a single pass rather than one mesh at a time. Selecting multiple objects lets you remove loose geometry, merge doubles, run limited dissolve and orient faces across all of them together, and apply Shade Smooth with an Auto Smooth Angle for consistent shading. After the operation, detailed results report what was changed on your meshes, so you can review the modifications before continuing your workflow or exporting.
Bmesh Clean is released under the GPL license. That license governs how the add-on's code can be used, modified and redistributed. The add-on is also noted as a Blender Extension, and its developer is listed as a Blender Dev Fund contributor. If you need the full terms or want to confirm the exact license details for your situation, the developer's page is the place to look.
Bmesh Clean is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing arrangements can differ on the developer's own store and may change over time, so check Andrew_D's page for the current terms before you download. Regardless of how it is offered, the add-on is distributed under the GPL license, which sets out how the code may be used and shared.
Bmesh Clean includes documentation links built directly into each section of the add-on. Right-click the (?) icons to open the matching online documentation, which the developer added to make learning the features easier. Because the links live within the relevant sections of the add-on, the documentation for a given operation is reachable from where that operation appears. A separate demo video is also available for the add-on.
