Preselect

Developer: Blender Guppy

Download Free

Blender add-on that selects large groups of faces quickly by flatness, island or shared plane, with hotkeys in edit and object mode.

What Preselect does

Made by Blender Guppy, Preselect makes picking big areas of faces much faster in Blender. It was created as a companion for the Random Flow mesh generator, but its selection commands also work perfectly well on their own.

Hover a face and press a shortcut to grab every connected flat face up to a sharpness limit, a whole face island, or all faces lying on the same plane. Select-all and deselect-all commands skip face detection, and a colored overlay in object mode marks what is chosen and what is not, which is handy before extruding regions.

Key features

  • Linked flat-face selection with an adjustable sharpness threshold
  • Whole-island selection bounded by boundary edges
  • Coplanar face selection based on planar height
  • Color overlay showing selected and unselected faces
  • Works alongside Random Flow or independently
