Carver
Cut and Boolean objects directly in the 3D Viewport.
Activation
Open Blender and go to Preferences then the Add-ons tab.
Click Object then Carver to enable the script.
Descripción
If you have an active bevel on the object to be cut, it will update automatically as well as objects that will be created.
To begin, select one or more objects, depending on the number of objects, the add-on will adjust to that. One object, you can cut (basic operation) and use the default patterns. Multiple objects, you can also cut, use patterns, and the last selected object serves as a «brush». If you enter in the Profile Brush mode. It works on all selected objects, so you can cut two objects or apply a «brush» to all objects at the same time.
The add-on is more accurate on orthographic view for basic Boolean operations. For others operations you can use the view if you wish.
Shift-Ctrl-X to call the add-on.
RMB to exit.
Ctrl-Z to Undo (there are no limits, so be careful to not overload it).
H to have the help when the screen is large enough to display.
