This addon allows you to easily add zippers to most meshes inside of Blender. Use the integrated panel to adjust both default settings and individual settings of each stitch object. Controls include: Zipper Scale, Teeth style, Zipper direction, turning on/off left and right side, hiding the Zipper and stopper, and changing from connected to separated at the base. Easily set a selected Zipper as the default settings for future Zippers, and prepare the scene for handing off to someone without the tool installed.

This tool is designed for Blender 3.6 or newer. The tool will not work in older versions.

This is the initial release, with updates to come adding new features and adjustments. Currently the 3rd zipper style is unfinished, but I included it for those that want to use as is. Future planned updates include finishing the 3rd zipper style(Coil), and adding the ability to open the Zipper part way. 

Update V2.0 for Blender 4.2 extensions. Updated to be compatible with 4.2 extensions. Blender 4.2 is required for V2.0+. Added new beta controls:

-Zipper Open Distance: Distance the top of the zipper is open when "Zipper Position" is not at 100%

-Zipper Position: Where the Zip sits on the zipper curve(0% is bottom, 100% is top)

These controls are not perfect, and may have some slightly inaccurate results(left and right teeth not lining up). If results look odd, adjust the settings slightly to find a better look. 

Update V1.01: Fixed issue with converting to mesh.
