Snap Line Tool earns its place in the blender_extensions library as a former Blender bundled add-on, now maintained by mano-wii and originally authored by Germano Cavalcante.
Snap Line Tool is a Blender add-on from mano-wii that extends Blender's built-in Snap controls. It sits in Blender's Mesh category and is reached from the 3D Viewport at View3D → TOOLS → Line Tool. The tool was originally part of Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons and was authored by Germano Cavalcante.
The extension is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, and it requires no special permissions to run. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Version 6.8.1 renamed the add-on from "Snap_Utilities_Line" to "Snap Line Tool".
Available through the blender_extensions library, Snap Line Tool can be added by dragging and dropping it into Blender or by installing from disk. The developer's page links to documentation for the tool. Its license terms and current support details are worth checking there before use.
Snap Line Tool is best for blender users working with mesh geometry who want to extend the program's built-in Snap controls.
Snap Line Tool is completely free to download and use.
