Why we like it

Coretools - Mkit stands out in the superhive library by combining alignment, selection, and modeling helpers with a set of naming and organization utilities in a single Blender add-on.

What is Coretools - Mkit?

Coretools - Mkit is a Blender add-on from WalkingAloneStudio that gathers a range of modeling, object alignment, and selection tools aimed at speeding up your workflow. It covers 2 and 3 point alignment, a Set Edge Length tool, Look At alignment, replacing objects of different types, and spawning objects on selected faces in the style of Duplifaces. It can also place a light source so its specular highlight sits under the mouse cursor.

Version 1.1.0 adds a Tweak tool for moving selected geometry in World or Object Local space, with Sensitivity that can be set to extremely low values for fixing pinching issues on SubD models where the default Move tool is not precise enough. A new Organize & Utils section brings Deselect/Isolate by object type, Unite for moving children into the parent's collection, Propagate Name, Fix Naming, Match LP/HP name, and a Display names toggle.

It is a Blender extension add-on compatible with Blender 4.2 through 5.1, released under the GPL license, and lists Cycles as its render engine. A demo video is available.
