Quick boolean operators and tools for hard surface modeling
Maintained by nickberckley
Last updated: March 27, 2026
What This Add-On Is For
- This extension was part of Blender 4.1 bundled add-ons
What It Helps You Do
- Old and iconic Bool Tool has been updated, modernized, enhanced, and pumped with new features for Blender 4.2, including new Carver tools ported from the add-on with the same name (also bundled with Blender in the past).
- You can read (way too) detailed documentation of the add-on here!
How To Install It In Blender
- Install it from Blender Extensions inside Blender when available.
- If you need the ZIP directly, use the official download from the Blender Extensions page and Blender’s Install from Disk flow.
How To Use It In Blender
- Start with the official extension page description and screenshots before changing your production scene.
Using It On A Render Farm
Simple guidance for rendering node setup, and safer submissions.
Conservative default: assume workers also need this add-on installed unless you have verified that its output is fully baked or converted into native Blender data.
Warnings
- Local path or asset-library signals were detected. Paths that work on the artist machine can still fail on remote workers.
Safest Workflow
- Check whether the add-on launches its own render operators locally and avoid assuming that workflow maps cleanly to farm orchestration.
- Open the scene in desktop Blender, run any interactive setup steps, save the file, then validate a small background render before scaling up.
Packing Checklist
- Assume every worker needs the same add-on version installed unless you have verified that the scene renders correctly after baking or exporting the result to native Blender data.
- Upload any external textures, presets, asset libraries, exports, or helper files referenced by the add-on workflow.
- Run a small local background render or one short farm test before full submission.
Common Issues
- The scene opens on the farm but renders incorrectly because local assets or helper files were never uploaded.
