Stands out in the superhive library for consolidating a variety of edit-mesh selection tasks into mode-aware operators, all reachable through a single pie menu.
Delectable Selectables is an evolving toolkit for Blender centred on edit-mesh selections and operations performed on them. Its design philosophy is to do more with one operator: generic operators adapt to your current selection mode, whether vertex, edge or face, and each is built with extra options for common tasks.
The toolkit covers a range of operators. Edge Walk selects edge loops through tris and n-gons, and can continue from previous selections, mark edges or terminate at existing selections, while Smart Loop Select does the same for quads. Flood Select fills areas between edge loops. Select All Marked and Select Linked Marked pick marked vertices, edges or faces, including custom Int, Float or Bool attributes, and Mark Custom applies those attributes from a convenient interface for geometry nodes and modifier setups. Select Similar searches for edge or face clusters matching your selection, and selections can be copied and pasted to other meshes for data such as seams.
Linked by Distance and Linked by Difference select by comparing features such as face areas, edge angles or vertex pointiness. Everything is organised in a pie menu. The add-on supports Blender 4.2 to 5.1 and is released under the GPL license.
Delectable Selectables is best for blender artists who work extensively with edit-mesh selections and want mode-aware operators for loops, marked geometry, similar clusters and feature-based selection.
Delectable Selectables is completely free to download and use.
Delectable Selectables supports Blender versions 4.2 through 5.1 and is listed as Blender Extension compatible, distributed as an add-on. It works alongside the Cycles and Eevee render engines. Because it operates on edit-mesh selections rather than on rendering, its function centres on modeling tasks, but the listed engine support confirms it fits into standard Blender projects using either renderer. If you run a version within that 4.2 to 5.1 range, the add-on is designed to install and operate on your setup.
Delectable Selectables has no special requirements and should work on any platform that runs Blender. That said, the add-on is only tested on Windows, so Windows is the only platform with official support. If you use macOS or Linux it may still function, but you would be running it outside the officially tested environment. For anyone relying on guaranteed support, Windows is the safe choice, and the developer's page is the place to confirm current platform details before installing.
Delectable Selectables is listed as free here in the catalog, and the add-on is released under the GPL license. A Trailing Version is also offered, always one release behind the latest, letting you try the toolkit before upgrading. Licensing and any purchase options can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms. The GPL license governs how the code may be used, modified and shared, which is standard for Blender add-ons of this kind.
Delectable Selectables offers a Trailing Version that is always one release behind the latest, specifically minus 0.1.0 from the current version. It lets you use the add-on and receive improvements, bug fixes and new features one step behind the newest release. Upgrading to the current version brings the latest additions when you are ready. The trailing option gives a way to work with the toolkit while staying a version back from the newest development, and the developer's page has details on both tracks.
