Blender Add-on: Extra meshes

This Blender plugin, developed in Python, allows you to create Blender meshes with just a few parameters. The available meshes are:

• Box from corners
• Cylinder/cone from 2 centers
• Torus from 2 sizes

Box from corner

This option allows you to create boxes from the coordinates of their two opposite corners. You can enter the coordinates manually or derive them from the bounding box of any mesh in the scene. This utility lets you select the type of edges for the resulting object from these possible values: Some of these options allow you to achieve the inverse effect. Once installed and activated, you can access the addon from the Add>Mesh>Box from corners menu in the 3D editor Viewport, or from the sidebar (View>Sidebar (N key)) in the Misc tab.

Demonstration Video

In this video you can see the plugin in action:

Cylinder/cone from 2 centers

This option allows you to create cones or cylinders from the coordinates of their two opposite centers and their radii, or from two connected spheres. You can enter the coordinates manually or derive them from the opposite corners of the bounding box of any mesh in the scene. This utility lets you select the type of edges for the resulting object from these possible values:

• Rect
• Bevel
• Rounded
• Stud
• Scoop

You can see an example of using this option in this video:

Torus from 2 sizes

Create torus like objects from x and y measures and choosing the profile type. See the new mesh option in this sample video   The types of mesh: Samples of planes: Profile samples:

Updates

• 2026/03/11 Added to Torus from 2 sizes: Any flat mesh generated in the X plane can now be selected as a profile. Checkboxes to reflect profiles on either axis. Removed some profiles that can be created using the reflect options.
• 2026/02/12 Changes to Torus from 2 sizes: Added two shapes: frame with straight or rounded corners. Rotation of the profile used to generate the “Toroid”. New profiles: Horizontal/vertical line and star
• 2026/01/23 This new version adds the following options to Torus from 2 sizes: Choose the generation plane: x, y, or z. Total torus size: Centered, internal, or external. New profiles: Triangles pointing inward or outward from the torus.
