Bool It earns its place in the superhive library for making boolean-based hard surface modeling approachable, keeping the work in object mode where you arrange parts and convert them to a single mesh in one click. A demo video is available.
Bool It - Quick Booleans is a Blender addon that applies and manages booleans directly in object mode. Instead of building shapes in edit mode, you arrange, rotate and scale your parts in the viewport, then mark each one as positive or negative to combine them through union and subtraction. Parts can also be pulled in from the asset browser while you work in object mode.
Modifiers can be applied to each part, including bevel, panel cut and array. Before you commit, you can refine parts using Blender's classic edit mode or the Quick Edit panel, then convert all the booleans into a single mesh in one click. The Quick Edit panel provides shortcuts for editing edges (green icons) and faces (pink icons), switching into edit mode on click and back to object mode on a double click.
Version 1.5 introduced a new UI and the Quick Edit panel, which can also be used as a separate addon. Bool It is aimed at beginners working in a hard surface style and can save time for more experienced users too.
Bool It - Quick Booleans is best for beginners who want to work in a hard surface style without wrestling with edit mode and shortcuts, and experienced modelers looking to save time on boolean-based parts.
Bool It - Quick Booleans is completely free to download and use.
Bool It - Quick Booleans works with Blender versions 3.0 through 5.2, covering a wide span of releases. If you're running a version inside that range, the addon is designed to run there. For versions outside that window, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing. The listing also notes GPL licensing, so it sits within Blender's usual addon ecosystem. Confirming your exact Blender build against the supported range is a good step before you rely on it in a project.
Bool It - Quick Booleans includes a Quick Edit panel, a set of shortcuts that speed up editing of edges and faces. According to the developer, this panel can also be made available as a separate addon for anyone who isn't interested in the boolean features. Inside it, green icons act as shortcuts for editing edges and pink icons handle faces, giving quick access to the relevant tools. So if the boolean side isn't your focus, the Quick Edit portion can stand on its own.
Bool It - Quick Booleans handles mode switching through its Quick Edit panel. When you click one of the icons, object mode switches into editing mode and selects the right tool based on whether you picked an edge or a face. Green icons map to edge editing and pink icons to face editing. Once you've finished your edit, double clicking the left mouse button switches you back to object mode. This lets you edit an edge or face on a part on the fly without leaving your object-mode workflow.
Bool It - Quick Booleans is listed as free in this catalog, and it carries a GPL license according to the developer's listing. Pricing and licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details it's worth checking the developer's page directly before you download. The listing also records the addon as compatible with Blender versions 3.0 through 5.2. For the most up-to-date licensing and availability, the developer's page is the place to look.
