Update Blender. Make sure you have the latest version of the Zip. Boxcutter is at Right click Blender. Put the folder in the folder. As in put the folder from the zip. The way we used to do it here.
But its the same advice every time. There is only ensuring the instructions are followed then dealing with whatever errors come from that.
Really love the plugin, Is there any update coming for creating custom shapes to cut with? I believe this was possible in 2. Tools to edit the cubecutter into a Triangle. I also like 5 — 6 segments on circle too. Where do we find the link for the discord?
Im new and a painter and probably gonna have loads of questions. Sorry for the long post. I would have asked directly if I could have found a support address. If any one can help with any, or possibly all of the below, Id really appreciate it. Using Blender 2.
I have both Box Cutter, and Hard Ops. And they both seem incredible. However, I am a relatively new Blender user, but know my way around most actions. But I am having specifically three seemingly basic issues, that no amount of surfing, forums or YT vids will answer. I really have tried to work them out. In one Box Cutter tutorial it says press 1 key once the box is drawn to get X mirror. As it says on the official box cutter sight. When drawing a box either in edit or object I cannot get it to have verts on the corners of the drawn box.
As I see in every video. I can get bevel if I select bevel. But I cant get verts as standard as I see in the videos? This last one is not so much of an issue. But it would be nice to figure out.
On anther tutorial I saw the slice tool being used to literally slice a new object, which can be selected and moved freely. It does not so much slice a separate part of the original mesh, as make it a separate extension, that allows edges to be moved only within certain parameters.
The move to 2. It is being worked on day and night and it will be back in fighting shape over the next couple of releases. Hope that clears things up. Currently to adjust a shape afte the fact hold shift upon apply to keep it live and then you can edit it on the mesh level. In the new boxcutter behavior panel you can choose if slices are kept dynamic or not.
Try that checkbox for apply slices and that should do the trick. I am sorry for any disappointment in this update but releasing boxcutter into 2.
Thanks for your patience and we hope to rapidly improve boxcutter to get it back to its former glory. I believe I said that in the update notes on this page. Let me first say that your reply, and the obvious care in responding to your base, is as awesome as your add-ons. Thank you so much for this information. It was only good news, seeing as I now know that the options I was looking for, have just not yet been added to the newly defined 2.
And that it was not my inexperience, or any oversight on my part. If I may make one suggestion. Just as you did on the Hard-ops page. Where you specified what is not yet added to 2. Which was super helpful to me, as I was looking why inserts are unavailable. I went to your page,- this was last week. It may be helpful if the same was done to box cutter. I hope you dont mind this suggestion. But a pretty competent hobbyist 2D illustration artist.
I have been working through many ways in Blender to achieve the 3D representations of my designs. And even since writing my above questions yesterday I have been using, and learning more of both Box Sutter, and Hard Ops, Even before all the other bells and whistles yet to be added.
And they are both superb. I realise that you have heard these accolades many times. But just wanted to add my thanks. My workflow is not only much faster now, but a LOT more creative thanks to you. I will recommend both to everyone I speak to about Blender. If I may add one last very quick question. And I honestly dont knwo even if its one of your programs.
Is this, or was this one of yours? And if so, do yo recommend it, would be at all advantageous to get it. I honestly dont think I would need it seeing as the amount of artistic content, and ease of use offered by B-Cutter, and H-Ops.
But I thought Id ask, I hope you dont mind. Sorry for another long post. Tools live and tools die. Any tool I make I intend to not die. The goal of Boxcutter was to make the best boxcutter. Some challenge that claim. Now our Boxcutter is fighting against the last Boxcutter. I have been pushing to get users to create tutorial content in addition to itself to any 3rd party tuts are bound to use other variants of workflow.
On this page there should be a casualty list for BC. Not a day goes by where Im not reminiscing about Boxcutter however I am confident the new boxcutter will be stronger than ever just on the way to getting back the features we lost for a moment. For some reason in blender 2. For example if I try to cut a few holes in the cube in object mode, and then I try to undo the latest cut- and all of my cuts are gone. Cube become the same as before very first use of boxcutter.
Also sometimes if I abandon all my test cuts on my cube and delete this mesh, and start to do some regular modeling on another object, my undo may return deleted cube with all cuts. Or maybe I can make some video with this bug and share my prefences? If so, where I can do that? Thank you and sorry for my english if there some mistakes! Think I found the problem, but I need to test it more. In Blender 2. I prove change the keymap but dont work.
For the installation of You just put the folder in your addon folder after making sure you have a current 2. For 2. There is also a discord where we can help you out more intensely and figure out what is going on. Any error screenshots could give us insight into what is going on. Very new to Blender and to box cutter and Hardops.
Thanks for amazing tools. My question is — Is there a way to make the array work as a grid? In, can I array in more than one direction? Would love if I could make it go in 2 or even 3 directions. Running the latest version of Blender 2.
To reduce potential conflict, I have disabled all third-party addons except BC. But as soon as I press LMB down anywhere on the cube and begin to drag to define that plane, a translucent red cube appears at that first point. I will endeavor to define that first plane anyway, dragging to an end-point even though all I see is a static red cube overlapping my solid cube.
But when I click again LMB to define the extent of that extrusion, my solid cube is cut — but by the red cube that appeared before instead of the shape I tried to define. I have tried switching to other BC options besides Cut, and have tried all these variations in both Non-destructive and Destructive modes.
In every case they all behave with the same degree of unpredictability. I have also tried restoring factory settings for Blender. No love. Blender made a few changes internally that wrenched us. We should have a build shortly. This version of blender win64 is the last best version atm. Hold tight. Also a screenshot of the error might help. Hello, I am having a an issue with boxcutter 7. Here is the text i get in the Error Window: sorry I cant add a screen grab.
There is a support section just for these mentioned issues. Thank you, I installed it by unzipping the file and copying the boxcutter folder into the addons folder under Blender, but Ill try it again. Also how can I insert a screen grab into this comment box? I just drag and drop them on the window. But I also use this program sharex. According to your path in the initial comment you put the addon in the wrong location.
That differs from what is specified. OK I re-copied boxcutter into the blender folder, saved my settings, restarted my computer just to play it safe but I am still getting the error here are the screen shots. That error is based off of an earlier build. When I activate boxcutter, there is no top menu showed. Thank you so much! I cant change the shape. Have I done anything wrong? But perhaps this is also due to the Apple mouse, which has no right button or center wheel as on conventional PC mice.
Thank you for your return and help. Thank you, Great tool!! You are commenting using your WordPress. Our aim is to make you glad you purchased us. We value each customer. There are other tools that do this to a basic extent but what sets Boxcutter apart is the ability to create and cut at the same time with minimal user input. This makes the process of cutting for concept quicker than you could have ever imagined. This has allowed us to more creatively manage this gap in the process to allow users to do many different things you can't do anywhere else.
BoxCutter 6. Boxcutter 7 is only for Blender 2. The latest version is always recommended but our compatibility is always with the most current version. No Yes Give as a gift. Edit product. JavaScript is required to buy this product.
