Face Cutter is a free Blender add‑on that lets you cut ngon and non‑planar faces using user‑defined snapping points. Set division counts, draw perpendicular or rotated lines, and optionally cut through the entire mesh with Blender’s Knife projection API.

About Face Cutter
Face Cutter is a modeling add‑on for Blender that enables precise cutting of ngon and non‑planar faces. In Edit mode you select one or more faces, invoke Face Cutter from the right‑click menu, and define cut lines via two snapping points. You can set the number of divisions, rotate the line, or align it to a nearby edge. The tool can cut only the selected faces or project cuts through the whole mesh using Blender’s Knife projection API, with options to limit the cut to linked geometry. Additional modes include Full Width Mode for spanning multiple faces, Easy Edit for clicking snapping points directly, symmetric copy for mirrored cuts, and a cut‑and‑break‑apart feature that separates the mesh into solid pieces. The add‑on works with Blender 4.0 and requires that any object scale be applied before use to avoid issues.
Features
- Cut perpendicular or rotated lines on a selected face using snapping points, with a user-set number of divisions.
- Cut through the whole mesh with Blender’s Knife projection API, with an option to limit the cut to linked faces.
- Define a cut-line by two points, rotate it by angle, or align it to any nearby edge.
- Full Width Mode uses the full side, all co-linear edges, when working across multiple faces.
- Easy Edit mode shows all snapping points so you can click to create cutting lines, including diagonals between edges.
- Cut and break apart into solid pieces, plus symmetric copy to mirror cutting lines to another side.
- Works on ngons and on non-planar faces, where the cut is projected onto the faces.
Best for
Modelers who need to cut ngon or non‑planar faces in Blender, especially when full‑mesh cuts or precise snapping‑point cuts are required.
Frequently asked questions
Does Face Cutter work with Blender 4.0?
Yes. Face Cutter has been updated for Blender 4.0.0, and recent versions (1.9.0, 1.10.0, 1.10.1, 1.10.2) address API changes and minor bugs related to that Blender release.
How do I access Face Cutter in Blender?
In Edit mode select the desired face(s), right‑click to open the context menu, and choose Face Cutter. From there you define snapping points and execute cuts with the appropriate shortcuts.
Does Face Cutter work on ngons?
Yes. The add‑on is designed specifically to cut ngon faces and also works on non‑planar faces, projecting the cut onto faces with differing normals.
How does Face Cutter cut through the whole mesh?
Press R to cut through the whole mesh using Blender’s Knife projection API. Shift + R limits the cut to linked faces, while T (or Shift + T) performs a cut‑and‑break‑apart operation, with similar linked‑face limits.
Is Face Cutter free to download?
The catalog lists Face Cutter as free. Licensing details are provided on the developer’s page and may be updated over time.
