Boolean Master Creates Cuts in Blender in Two Clicks

Unik Studio’s Blender add-on Boolean Master places hole, channel, and pocket cuts with the first click and creates them with the second. The add-on is compatible with Blender 4.2 and later.

In brief

  1. Boolean Master creates hole, channel, and pocket cuts in Blender, rebuilding the surrounding surface with quad topology.
  2. The first click sets the cut’s position; the second creates it.
  3. The add-on only allows cuts when it can produce clean topology; the status bar explains why a rejected operation was blocked.
  4. The tool is compatible with Blender 4.2 and later and is available in two options: Lite and Full.

Unik Studio released its Boolean Master add-on for Blender on 8 October 2026. According to 80 Level, the tool lets users place hole, channel, and pocket cuts on a model’s surface with the mouse, then rebuilds the surrounding surface with quad topology. The add-on is compatible with Blender 4.2 and later and comes in two options: Lite and Full.

How does the cutting tool work?

Boolean Master’s workflow uses keyboard shortcuts and mouse actions. After pressing Shift+Q, the user moves the cursor over the model’s surface. The first click sets the cut’s position; the second creates it. The operation therefore takes two clicks to complete.

The tool provides a live preview of the cut. It automatically snaps the preview to corners, the midpoints of edges, and face centers. Its size can be adjusted by scrolling the mouse wheel while holding Ctrl. Scrolling the wheel normally continues to zoom the viewport.

The add-on does not apply every requested cut. Boolean Master accepts an operation only when it can produce clean topology. It may reject a cut if it is too close to a boundary edge, a sharp edge, or another hole; the status bar explains why. The tool also works alongside other modifiers.

Topology and UV limitations

One of Boolean Master’s core functions is rebuilding the surface around a cut as a quad-based structure. The latest update also adds support for logo and curve shapes.

UVs behave differently depending on the area. UVs outside the rebuilt section remain unchanged, but UVs in the area reconstructed around the cut are not yet preserved. As a result, users may need to check the UV layout in the affected area after cutting models that use textures.

Support for Boolean operations between two separate objects is not available. 80 Level reports that the feature is planned for a future version, but the source does not give a date for its addition.

Impact on architectural and visualization workflows

Architectural modeling, interior design, and visualization work can call for adding hole, channel, or pocket details to surfaces. Boolean Master’s mouse-based cut placement and quad-based rebuilding of the surrounding geometry may be useful for this kind of localized modeling. For Blender users who need the geometry around a cut to remain editable, the tool offers an option to add to an existing workflow.

However, the tool cannot cut at every location and does not preserve UVs in the rebuilt area. It may be useful to try different cut positions and check UVs before using it on production models. Support for cuts between two separate objects is also not yet available. Before installing, users should confirm that their Blender version is 4.2 or later.

Editions and availability

The Lite version of Boolean Master lets users try the core operations on their own models. Users can upgrade to the Full version later. The source article does not disclose the price of either option.

When choosing a tool for an office or visualization team, factors to consider include UV editing needs, the need to work with separate objects, and the Blender version in use. The add-on’s support for logos and curves can also be tested on a sample file. Given the limitations reported by the source, it would be advisable to test the tool on a representative model before adding it to a production pipeline.

3dsınıfı’s take
3dEditor’s assessment

Boolean Master’s main appeal for architectural modeling is its aim to rebuild the area around a cut with quad topology and explain when an operation is unsuitable. This approach is worth trying for work involving localized details, but users should not assume the tool will handle every Boolean operation.

For offices and visualization teams in Turkey, Blender version compatibility, the UV limitation in the rebuilt area, and the choice between Lite and Full are important considerations. The source does not include pricing information. Testing the add-on on a sample model and incorporating a UV check into the workflow would be prudent before using it in production.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions is Boolean Master compatible with?

The add-on is compatible with Blender 4.2 and later.

Does Boolean Master create a cut with a single click?

No. The first click sets the cut’s position; the second creates it.

Does Boolean Master preserve UVs?

UVs outside the rebuilt area are preserved. UVs in the section reconstructed around the cut are not yet preserved.
