About Angle Tool

Angle Tool is a modeling add‑on for Blender that operates in Edit Mode to generate corner geometry quickly. After selecting part of a mesh and designating an Active Edge, the tool rotates the geometry around that edge and extends it into a corner. The add‑on provides three modes – Angle, Curve, and Extend – and supports numeric input for precise values. A heads‑up display in the 3D viewport offers real‑time instructions, and a toolbar gizmo includes a Curve Mode toggle and a segments slider. The command can also be invoked via a hotkey. Version 1.35, released on November 26 2023, includes a fix for newer Blender releases where the deprecated bgl module previously broke the UI.
