BoxCutter is a modeling tool focused on direct visual drawing and boolean operations. Users can draw shape profiles like boxes, circles, and ngons directly onto surfaces to perform instantaneous cuts, slices, and insets. The extension is designed to minimize input requirements by allowing the creation and cutting actions to occur simultaneously.

The tool set includes an infinite grid snapping system and prepositional dot assistance for precise shape placement. Users can dynamically apply bevels, arrays, and solidify operations in 3D space during the modeling process. In addition to standard boolean operations like union and subtraction, it features connectivity with Hard Ops for advanced material cutting workflows.
