Why we like it

Quick Edit stands out in the superhive library because it condenses common edge and face edits into single-click icons that drop you straight into edit mode with the right tool selected.

What is Quick Edit?

Quick Edit, from Synthomesh, is a set of intuitive shortcuts for editing edges and faces in Blender. Green icons act as shortcuts for editing edges, while pink icons handle faces. Clicking an icon switches the object from object mode into edit mode and selects the tool that matches the edge or face you picked.

The addon grew from an idea during the creation of Bool It, aimed at adding detail to a boolean part in an easy way. It is handy for editing an edge or face on the fly, and once you finish, a double-click of the left mouse button returns you to object mode.

Quick Edit also ships inside the newer version of Bool It as a panel, and it is part of the hIVE Bundle, the complete collection of Synthomesh addons. It comes with documentation, works with Blender versions 3.0 through 5.2, and is distributed under the GPL license.

Frequently asked questions

Does Quick Edit work with Blender 5.2?

Quick Edit lists compatibility with Blender versions 3.0 through 5.2, so it covers a wide span of releases including 5.2. It runs as a Blender addon that adds icon shortcuts for editing edges and faces. If you are on a version inside that range, it should load without trouble; for anything outside it, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing. The addon is distributed under the GPL license.

How do I return to object mode after editing with Quick Edit?

Quick Edit switches you into edit mode when you click one of its icons, selecting the tool that matches an edge or a face. To go back, double-click the left mouse button, which returns the object to object mode. This lets you edit an edge or face on the fly and drop straight back out once the change is done. Green icons handle edges and pink icons handle faces.

Is Quick Edit included in Bool It?

Quick Edit is included in the newer version of Bool It as a panel, where it helps adjust an edge or face of a boolean object on the fly. The tool grew from an idea during Bool It's creation, meant to add detail to a boolean part more easily. It is also bundled in the hIVE Bundle, the complete collection of Synthomesh addons. So if you already own Bool It or the bundle, you may have Quick Edit available there.

Is Quick Edit free to use?

Quick Edit is listed as free here, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Pricing and licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. The addon comes with documentation to help you get started, and it also appears inside Bool It and the hIVE Bundle if you prefer to get it as part of a larger Synthomesh package.
