Shape Fitter
Developer: pfalkingham
Blender add-on that fits spheres, planes, cylinders and ellipsoids to selected mesh vertices in Edit Mode.
What Shape Fitter does
Shape Fitter finds primitive shapes that best match a set of vertices in Blender. It supports planes, spheres, cylinders and ellipsoids, plus a two-condyle cylinder variant, with either Average or Midpoint centering.
Each shape needs a minimum number of vertices: four for a sphere, three for a plane, six for a cylinder and nine for an ellipsoid. Cylinders use the full height span of the selection, the two-condyle version fits across two stored vertex sets, and shapes come with proper local axes. Its roots are in bone and biomechanics work, but it applies elsewhere.
Key features
- Fits spheres, planes, cylinders and ellipsoids
