Stands out in the Blender extensions library for bringing clipboard-style face copy, cut, and paste to Edit Mode, carrying UV, edge crease, and edge sharp data along the way.
Poly Copy Paste brings a copy, cut, and paste workflow for polygons to Blender's Edit Mode. Faces are copied with Ctrl+C, cut with Ctrl+X, and pasted with Ctrl+V, so mesh geometry moves through familiar clipboard shortcuts.
Beyond the faces themselves, the add-on transfers UV data and edge crease information, and preserves edge sharp marks. Optional toggles let you decide whether UV, edge crease, and edge sharp copying is included. Tools are also reachable from a side panel in the 3D View under the N Panel → Edit → Poly Copy Paste, and preferences cover copy options along with a shortcut reference. Native Blender shortcuts stay accessible through Ctrl+Shift variants.
The add-on is built for Blender 4.5 LTS and newer, and requires no special permissions. Version 1.1.1 improved operation feedback messages and fixed a missing Cut notification. It's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Poly Copy Paste is best for blender modelers who want a clipboard-style copy, cut, and paste workflow for faces in Edit Mode.
Poly Copy Paste is completely free to download and use.
Poly Copy Paste lists compatibility with Blender 4.5 LTS and newer, so current LTS builds and later releases are covered. The add-on operates in Edit Mode, where Ctrl+C copies faces, Ctrl+X cuts them, and Ctrl+V pastes them. It requires no special permissions to run. If you're on an earlier Blender release, check the developer's page for details, since versions below 4.5 fall outside the stated compatibility range.
Poly Copy Paste places its tools in a side panel in the 3D View, found under the N Panel → Edit → Poly Copy Paste. The main actions run through keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+C to copy faces, Ctrl+X to cut, and Ctrl+V to paste. Preferences cover the copy options and a shortcut reference. Native Blender shortcuts remain accessible through Ctrl+Shift variants, so the default bindings aren't lost when the add-on is enabled.
Poly Copy Paste supports UV transfer, edge crease transfer, and edge sharp preservation, so those attributes can travel with the faces you copy or cut. Optional toggles let you decide whether UV, edge crease, and edge sharp copying is included in an operation. That means you can move plain geometry or bring the associated data along, depending on how the toggles are set in preferences.
Poly Copy Paste is listed as free here and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For current licensing terms and any changes, the developer's page is the place to check. The add-on requires no special permissions, and it's compatible with Blender 4.5 LTS and newer. Its most recent update, version 1.1.1, improved operation feedback messages and fixed a missing Cut notification.
