Extra Mesh Objects earns its place in the Blender Extensions library as a former bundled add-on the community picked up: well over a million downloads and a 5.0 rating across 28 reviews back its standing.
Extra Mesh Objects adds a set of extra mesh object types to Blender, all reachable from the View3D → Add → Mesh menu. It began as one of Blender's bundled add-ons in version 4.1 and is now maintained by the community as a standalone extension, offered as-is with limited support.
The add-on carries over the work of its multiple original authors. Version 0.4.1 introduced an Equilateral Grid object. It requires no special permissions and is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
It ranks among the most popular entries on Blender Extensions and holds a 5.0 rating across 28 reviews. Documentation is available on the developer's page for those setting it up or exploring the object types it provides.
Extra Mesh Objects is best for blender users who want additional mesh object types available from the Add > Mesh menu.
Extra Mesh Objects is completely free to download and use.
Extra Mesh Objects is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. It was originally part of Blender's bundled add-ons in version 4.1, but is now distributed as a standalone extension that you add yourself. Since parting from the bundle, it is offered as-is with limited support, so behaviour on newer Blender releases may vary. For the current version, 0.4.1, and its full version history, check the developer's page before installing on your specific Blender build.
Extra Mesh Objects places its extra mesh object types under View3D → Add → Mesh, the same menu used for Blender's standard primitives. Once the extension is installed and enabled, the added types appear there alongside the built-in options. Version 0.4.1 added an Equilateral Grid object to that menu. Documentation is available on the developer's page if you want a full list of the object types the add-on provides.
Extra Mesh Objects can be installed by dragging and dropping it into Blender, or by downloading the extension and using Install from Disk in Blender's preferences. It requires no special permissions to run. After installing, enable it so its object types show up under Add > Mesh. Installation steps for extensions are documented on the developer's page, which is worth checking if you are setting it up on Blender 4.2 LTS or a newer release.
Extra Mesh Objects is listed here as free and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which governs how you may use, modify and redistribute it. It was previously maintained as one of Blender's bundled add-ons and is now offered by the community as-is with limited support. For current licensing terms and the latest version, refer to the developer's page rather than relying on a snapshot of its details.
