Why we like it

Loop Cut Pro earns its place in the superhive library for putting loop cuts a single click away, directly under the cursor, with modes you can combine on the fly via Alt, Ctrl and Shift. A demo video is available.

What is Loop Cut Pro?

Loop Cut Pro is a Blender add-on from Nodes Interactive that adds loop cuts with a single click, placed directly under the cursor. The default hotkey is Alt+R, and you can continuously edit your mesh as you work. It is distributed as a Blender extension of the add-on type.

The tool offers three modes that can be combined. Holding Alt activates Preserve Shape, Ctrl snaps the cut to the center, and Shift switches to Even, with F to Flip Even. Full documentation covering these modes is available on the developer's page.

Loop Cut Pro is listed as compatible with Blender 5.1 and is distributed under the GPL license for single-user personal and commercial use. At present, only one UV map with the default name UVMap is properly interpolated when the tool is used; support for multiple UV maps with custom names and multiple cuts is planned for future updates. A demo video is available.

Who is Loop Cut Pro best for?

Loop Cut Pro is best for blender modelers working on retopology, hard surface modeling and edge-loop work that relies on adding loop cuts quickly.

How much does Loop Cut Pro cost?

Frequently asked questions

Does Loop Cut Pro work with Blender 5.1?

Loop Cut Pro is listed as compatible with Blender 5.1 and is distributed as a Blender add-on, or extension. It lets you add loop cuts with a single click directly under the cursor, with a default hotkey of Alt+R, and you can continuously edit your mesh while working. Its three modes can also be combined: Alt for Preserve Shape, Ctrl for Snap to Center, and Shift for Even, with F for Flip Even. For versions beyond 5.1, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.

How do I add a loop cut with Loop Cut Pro?

Loop Cut Pro adds loop cuts with a single click directly under the cursor, using a default hotkey of Alt+R. You can continuously edit your mesh as you work. Three modes are available and can be combined: hold Alt to Preserve Shape, hold Ctrl to Snap to Center, and hold Shift for Even, with F to Flip Even. Full documentation covering these modes is available on the developer's page if you want each one explained in detail.

Is Loop Cut Pro free, and what license does it use?

Loop Cut Pro is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license for single-user personal and commercial use. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. It is published as a Blender extension of the add-on type, so you can add it through Blender's extension workflow. Refer to the developer's documentation for anything specific about installation or the current terms.

Does Loop Cut Pro support multiple UV maps?

Loop Cut Pro currently interpolates only one UV map, the one with the default name UVMap, when the tool is used. Support for multiple UV maps with custom names is a planned feature for future updates, along with multiple cuts. If your mesh relies on custom-named or several UV maps, keep this limitation in mind for now, and watch the developer's page for updates as these features arrive in later versions of the add-on.
