Measures radii in the Blender viewport and suggests how many segments circular shapes need for clean low-poly results.

What Nova Arc does

Nova Arc is a Blender add-on that takes guesswork out of rounded geometry. While you model, it shows radius lines, arrows and text recommendations on the selected elements right in the 3D viewport.

It proposes segment counts for a given diameter so curves stay smooth without wasting polygons, supports millimeters, centimeters, meters or inches with automatic conversion, and offers a QA mode for checking existing geometry. Low-poly and hard-surface modelers aiming for clean circular shapes will find it useful.

Key features

  • Radius visualization in the 3D viewport
