Introducing: Better Primitives

Blender's primitives have a big problem! You add them into your scene and.... you lose control. Instantly. No going back. Fixed settings. You're stuck.

Well no more! Better Primitives are fully non-destructive.

Better Torus

Better Cylinder

Better Sphere

Better Icosphere

Better Cube

Better Plane

Better Circle

Better Line



Compatible With Other Modifiers

Feel free to add additional modifiers to the stack and go back and edit the primitive 🙂
This is a completely non-destructive workflow - similar to Houdini.


How to Use

  • Install the addon (this is only compatible with Blender 4.3)
  • Add a better primitive from the Shift + A menu
  • Use the gizmos to edit the parameters
  • Apply the modifier if you ever want to bake it down

    That's literally it.

    All this is accessible right from the add menu (Shift + A). Change settings at any time! Gizmos have been added (this is a new Blender 4.3 feature) for easy control. No need to dive into the settings (although you can if you want).

    Lots of other info in the documentation page if you need help :)

    Enjoy the addon and welcome to the world of gizmos 🎉
