Mesh Stuff earns its place in the superhive library for grouping four edit-mode modeling functions into one side-panel tab. The developer built it to add functionality missed in Blender's default edit-mode workflow, including distributing objects in a circle without a complex modifier setup.
Mesh Stuff is an addon for Blender aimed at making modeling in edit mode easier. It adds four functions to the edit-mode toolset, along with guide lines introduced in a later update. The addon is only visible and only works in edit mode, appearing in the side panel under a Mesh Stuff tab.
Distribute places two selected mesh objects evenly on a straight line, with the amount set afterward. Rotate builds a circular array around a face or edge chosen as the rotation center. Plane to Plane orients mesh objects by their faces, placing the first plane on top of another along with its linked geometry, and the orientation can be adjusted. Mirror reflects a mesh across a chosen plane, vertex, or edge, including geometry that isn't connected.
Installation uses Blender's preferences menu: download the addon zip and select install. Version 0.0.4 was tested with Blender 4.4, and the addon is distributed under the GPL license. A demo video is available.
Mesh Stuff is best for blender users modeling in edit mode who want simple ways to distribute, rotate, orient, and mirror mesh objects.
Mesh Stuff is completely free to download and use.
Mesh Stuff installs through Blender's preferences menu. Download the addon zip file, open the preferences menu, and select install. After installation, a Mesh Stuff tab appears in the side panel menu under the edit tab. Keep in mind the addon is only visible and only works in edit mode, so you access all four of its functions from there rather than in object mode.
Mesh Stuff version 0.0.4 was tested with Blender 4.4, according to the developer's update notes from April 2025. The addon has been maintained across several updates, including guide lines added in 2022 and later revisions to versions 5 and 6. For confirmation on other Blender versions, check the developer's page, since the tested compatibility listed here centers on Blender 4.4.
Mesh Stuff is listed as free here in the catalog, and its four edit-mode tools come included at no cost. It's distributed under the GPL license, so it follows the terms of that open-source license. For current licensing details or any changes to how it's offered, check the developer's page from Tiemen's addons. The listing here reflects its status as free at the time of cataloging.
Mesh Stuff's Mirror tool reflects a mesh across a chosen plane, vertex, or edge. You select the geometry you want mirrored, then select the mirror plane, edge, or vertex last, and press mirror. The linked geometry is mirrored along with it. You can also select geometry that isn't connected before choosing the mirror plane, edge, or vertex, giving you flexibility in what gets reflected.
