Bmesh Clean is a free Blender add‑on that automates common mesh cleanup tasks—limited dissolve, merge by distance, delete loose geometry, normal fixes and shading—across one or multiple objects in a single operation.

About Bmesh Clean Add-On
Bmesh Clean, authored by Andrew_D, consolidates typical mesh‑repair steps into an automated workflow for Blender. It is designed for models imported from programs such as SketchUp, providing a quick way to prepare geometry for shading or export. With one click you can run a full cleanup on a selected object or a group of objects, applying limited dissolve, converting tris to quads, triangulating, recalculating or flipping normals, deleting loose parts, merging vertices by distance, and applying smooth shading with an auto‑smooth angle. After each run a detailed report lists the modifications made. The add‑on lets you save cleanup presets locally and reload them for consistent processing across projects. Documentation links are embedded in the UI, accessible via right‑click on the help icons. Bmesh Clean supports Blender versions 3.0 through 5.1 and is released under the GPL license.
