One of the most popular add-ons on Blender Extensions. Extra Curve Objects carries over from Blender's former bundled collection and is now community-maintained with limited support.
Extra Curve Objects is a community-maintained add-on that expands Blender's curve toolset with extra curve object types. Once enabled, the new options appear under View3D → Add → Curve → Extra Objects, alongside Blender's standard curve entries.
This extension was part of the bundled add-ons shipped with Blender 4.1. It is now offered as is, with limited support, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It requires no special permissions to run and lists multiple original authors.
Version 0.2.0 reorganized the add menu into subcategories and introduced add-on preferences that let you choose what appears in the menu and what does not. The release also brought a new UI for the redo panels of all operators, along with changes to some names and icons to make things clearer.
Extra Curve Objects is best for blender users who want additional curve object types available directly from the Add → Curve menu.
Extra Curve Objects is completely free to download and use.
Extra Curve Objects lists compatibility with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. It was originally part of the add-ons bundled with Blender 4.1 and is now offered separately as a community extension with limited support. If you are on 4.2 LTS or a later release, it should install and run. For versions older than 4.2, check the developer's page, since compatibility below that line is not stated here.
Extra Curve Objects places its tools under View3D → Add → Curve → Extra Objects. Once the add-on is enabled, the extra curve object types appear there alongside Blender's standard curve entries. Version 0.2.0 reorganized this add menu into subcategories and added preferences that let you choose which items appear in the menu and which stay hidden. That release also changed some names and icons to make the menu clearer.
