Visual limits earns its place in the Blender extensions library for a focused job: making rigid body constraint limits visible in the viewport. At around 2.6 KB with no special permissions, it stays lightweight while adding that feedback.
Visual limits is a Blender add-on from xbodya13 that shows rigid body constraint limits in the viewport. It gives visual feedback on the limits set on constraints between objects, so those bounds stay visible as you work in the scene.
The add-on is compatible with Blender 4.3 and newer, and its documentation notes it works up to Blender 4.x. At version 1.3.2, it is a lightweight extension of around 2.6 KB, written entirely in Python, and it requires no special permissions to run. Visual limits is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, with source code available on the developer's GitHub repository.
Installation follows the standard Blender extension flow: drag and drop the file into Blender, or download it and install from disk. A demo video is available for a closer look at the add-on.
Visual limits is best for blender users working with rigid body constraints who want to see those constraint limits shown in the viewport.
Visual limits is completely free to download and use.
Visual limits lists compatibility with Blender 4.3 and newer, and its documentation notes it works up to Blender 4.x. If you are running a version in that range, the add-on should load through Blender's extensions system. The current release is version 1.3.2, updated in July 2025. For the most accurate compatibility details on any newer Blender release, the developer's GitHub repository is the place to check before installing.
Visual limits installs like other Blender extensions. You can drag and drop the add-on file directly into Blender, or download it and use the Install from Disk option. The extension is small, around 2.6 KB, so the download is quick, and it is written entirely in Python. Its source code is also available on the developer's GitHub repository if you prefer to grab the files from there.
Visual limits is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It is listed as free here in the catalog, and the GPL license means the source code is openly available, which you can find on the developer's GitHub repository. The extension also requires no special permissions in Blender. For current licensing terms and any changes, check the developer's page directly.
Visual limits has a demo video available, which is linked on the developer's GitHub repository. Beyond that, the add-on does a focused job: it shows rigid body constraint limits in the viewport for Blender 4.3 and newer. To learn more about how it behaves before installing, the demo video and the GitHub page are good places to look, since the repository README points to the video directly.
