About Punchit

PUNCHit is a dedicated Blender addon for negative manifold extrusion, enabling users to punch into or through objects. It supports single or multi-face selections as well as partial vertex or edge selections. Extrusion direction can be set from averaged face normals, individual vertex normals, a chosen edge, or any 3D cursor axis. Features include numeric modal input, an extrusion exit preview, and automatic geometry cleanup. Version 1.3.2 is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS through 5.1. The addon is released under the GPL license and is maintained separately from the PunchIt tool in MACHIN3tools DeusEx, receiving all future feature updates.
