Why we like it

Mesh Filters earns its place in the Blender extensions library as a lightweight, non-destructive way to combine filters into a single mesh selection workflow.

What is Mesh Filters?

Mesh Filters is an add-on for Blender from developer Hartface that offers a combinable filter stack for mesh selection. It lets you use multiple filters to select faces, edges, and vertices, and stack those filters together.

The add-on is used from the N panel in the 3D viewport. Open the panel, find the Mesh Filters tab, switch to Edit Mode, choose your filters or options, and click Filter. The whole workflow is completely non-destructive.

Mesh Filters is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It requires no special permissions and has a small footprint of around 5.0 KB. Version 1.0.1 revamped the Area threshold slider and property, added a classpoll to a UI element, and updated the manifest website.
