Earns its place in the superhive library as a focused, single-purpose cutter: pick an axis or a guide plane and split a mesh in two without leaving the N-panel.
One-Click Split is a lightweight Blender add-on from Shift4cube for cutting a mesh into two clean halves. You can slice along the world or local X, Y or Z axis, or use a movable and rotatable guide plane to cut at any custom angle. The developer suggests it for mockups, hard-surface blocking, 3D printing prep, and fast prototyping.
The add-on lives in the N-panel under OneClickSplit. Select a mesh, choose a split method, and the object is cut into two halves while the original mesh is hidden. A Cap the Cut toggle lets you fill the cut surface or leave it open, and a Separate Offset pushes the halves apart for a clearer split view. It also works with evaluated meshes, keeping non-applied modifiers in mind.
One-Click Split runs on mesh objects only and is compatible with Blender 3.5 to 4.5, tested on 4.5. It is released under the MIT license and works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines. A demo video is available on the developer's page.

One-Click Split works from the N-panel under OneClickSplit. Select your mesh, then click a split method: either Split by Axis along X, Y or Z, or Cut with Guide Plane using a movable, rotatable plane for a custom angle. Optionally toggle Cap the Cut or adjust Separate Offset. The object is cut into two clean halves while the original mesh is hidden. It works on mesh objects only.
One-Click Split works with evaluated meshes and keeps your non-applied modifiers in mind, according to the developer. Beyond that, you can control the result with a Cap the Cut toggle that fills or leaves open the cut surface, and a Separate Offset that pushes the two halves apart for a clearer split view. Note that it operates on mesh objects only. For specifics on modifier handling, see the developer's page.
