MindSight Studios Bool Tools for Sketchup 2017-2025

MindSight Studios Bool Tools for Sketchup Overview

Powerful Boolean Operations for SketchUp Make or Pro. BETTER RESULTS than SketchUp Solid Tools Guaranteed or FREE! About 20 months before SketchUp Pro 8 released Solid Tools (back in December 2008!), the original BoolTools plugin for SketchUp was released. This tool provided an inexpensive way to perform some basic Boolean operations and worked with both SketchUp Make (free) and Pro. After all, Pro Solid Tools didn’t exist yet, and no one even knew SketchUp was considering creating this long-requested feature.
The original BoolTools plugin was really useful and helped fill a need for SketchUp’s toolset for years (especially for Make users). However, it definitely had some limitations, especially when it came to working with smaller, complex objects.
Successful Boolean operations depend on high-precision 3D intersections, something SketchUp’s internal geometry engine sometimes struggles with. Even Pro Solid Tools struggles with this problem. That’s why so many Solid Tools users have adopted the copy-and-scale workflow to prevent Solid Tool from crashing.
Pro Solid Tools also has some other long-standing limitations that we’ve improved with BoolTools.

MindSight Studios Bool Tools for Sketchup Features

• Union, Difference, Intersect, Trim, Split
• Designed with 3D printing in mind to work with small, complex objects (no more scaling workarounds!)
• Works with nested solids!
• Does not create new components! The original component is modified as expected
• Preserves the layer and names of the first selected object
• New “Merge Individual Objects” tool (click one group or component to merge all nested solids inside it)
• In almost all cases, results in 3D printable solid objects (if the original objects were also solids)
