Target Weld earns its place in the Blender Extensions library by handling vertex and edge merges interactively, with the source and target picked right in the viewport and real-time feedback on what's being merged.
Target Weld is a Blender modeling add-on that merges vertices and edges. You work interactively in the 3D viewport, picking a source and a target, while real-time visual feedback highlights the components being merged.
The add-on supports both vertex and edge merge modes, with configurable behavior set to press-only or click-drag. It's accessible through the View3D Tools panel and requires no special permissions.
Target Weld is listed here as free, and the author can be supported by buying their other add-ons from Superhive. It's compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, and released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Version 1.1.9 landed a typo fix. Issues can be reported through the developer's Discord, and the add-on appears in the Blender Extensions library.
Target Weld is best for blender artists merging vertices or edges directly in the viewport during mesh modeling.
Target Weld is completely free to download and use.
Target Weld lists compatibility with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it targets that release and later builds. The current version is 1.1.9, updated in April 2026, and it installs without requiring any special permissions. If you run into problems on a specific Blender version, the developer maintains a Discord channel where you can report issues directly. It appears in the Blender Extensions library.
Target Weld can be added by dragging and dropping the downloaded file into Blender, or by downloading it and using Install from Disk. Once installed, it's accessible via the View3D Tools panel, where you can switch between vertex and edge merge modes. The add-on is small, and it doesn't request any special permissions during installation, which keeps setup straightforward for standard Blender configurations.
Target Weld is listed here as free, and the author notes you can support them by buying their other add-ons from Superhive. It's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it follows the terms of that open-source license. For current licensing details or to explore the author's other work, check the developer's page. No special permissions are required to run it.
Target Weld supports both vertex and edge merge modes, letting you merge either component type by picking a source and a target directly in the 3D viewport. As you work, real-time visual feedback highlights the components being merged. The behavior is configurable between press-only and click-drag, so you can set how the merge is triggered. All of this is reached through the View3D Tools panel.
