ND Primitives is a Blender plugin that introduces non-destructive, parametric primitives with editable dimensions and segment counts. This utility integrates directly into the Blender interface to provide a suite of geometric primitives that maintain their parametric properties post-creation. Unlike standard mesh objects, these primitives allow designers to adjust dimensions, radial segments, and subdivision parameters dynamically through a dedicated interface panel. The toolset facilitates a more fluid modelling workflow by keeping base geometry editable, which is essential for rapid prototyping and iterative design processes. By preserving the underlying mathematical structure of the objects, it ensures that modifications remain clean and manageable throughout the entire lifecycle of a 3D project.

The download is a 287 KB file containing .ZIP files.

To use this add-on, install the ZIP file via the Blender preferences menu. Once enabled, primitives are accessed through the standard add-menu within the viewport. Users can adjust parameters in the operator panel immediately after creation or through the modifier stack if supported. This approach replaces destructive modelling with a live property system, allowing for precise control over object resolution and scale without needing to re-model from scratch during later design revisions.

Professional 3D artists and architectural visualisers benefit from this tool during the early block-out stages of complex scenes. It is particularly effective for creating modular components, furniture prototypes, or architectural massing studies where dimensions require frequent adjustment. By streamlining the creation of basic volumes, the add-on helps maintain a non-destructive pipeline, reducing the time spent on manual mesh editing. It pairs well with other parametric tools to create efficient, high-fidelity environments for architectural presentations, product design, and cinematic scene development.
