How to Easily Trim Objects in Blender with A Clean Cut

Image
To Trim or cut objects in Blender can sometimes seem impossible as the tools in Blender will only allow you to cut only through the meshes. As a result, you will sometimes end up in a situation where you cannot find a proper way to cut your object. In this tutorial, we will show you a way to create a tool using which you can make your own custom cut on the shape from above. However, you can develop this tool in a way that it can cut from all angles. Making A Tool to Trim Objects in Blender We want to create a tool that you can draw your custom cut shape and after you have made sure the cut shape is alright, confirm it. So let’s get started. Using the below scripts, we will be able to easily trim with a clear cut through the meshes with the pencil tool. We first begin with the utility functions and then execute them within a sequence. In the panel that is created after the running of the codes, we will see 2 buttons: For drawing the pattern. For appl...

Retrieve the Coordinates of a Selected Point in Blender

The purpose of this article is to find an easy way to obtain the coordinates and the normal of a point in Blender specified by the user. Using the obtained point data, we can automate the translation of the objects that are going to be transferred to that certain point and rotated according to the normal directions of that point. The use cases of this kind of object translation are for 3D modeling of complex objects as well as placing the internal lattice structures. Obtaining the Coordinates of Any Point in Blender Finding the coordinates of a selected point is a key function for a lot of other important tasks, such as translating another part to that point and so on. Here, we write some functions in addition to an interface for you to get the coordinates of a selected point on an object and print the data of the location and the direction of the mesh normal. Notice that the user should go to edit mode while selecting the object and click on the edge that they want...
