What is Edit Mesh Tools?

Edit Mesh Tools is a mesh-modelling toolkit for Blender that collects several tools to aid modelling within Edit Mode. Originally authored by Meta-Androcto, it was part of Blender's 4.1 bundled add-ons and is now offered as it is, with limited support, maintained by the community.

Current version 0.3.6 was published in May 2024 and is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. It is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later, and has passed 228,000 downloads on blender_extensions with a 5.0 rating across 13 reviews.
