Preferences

Chisel addon preferences are found in Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Chisel.

Settings

Use Blender Modifiers

  • Type: Boolean
  • Default: True
  • Effect: Create and track Blender modifiers (Boolean, Solidify, Mirror, Array) alongside Chisel SDF modifiers. When off, only SDF rendering is used and no Blender modifiers are created. Toggling this on will recreate modifiers for all existing Chisel objects; toggling off will remove them

Status Information

The preferences panel displays system status:

armesher Native Library

  • Shows the version and status of the armesher Rust library used for mesh conversion
  • Update Native Libraries button to reinstall from bundled wheels if needed
  • If a version mismatch is detected after reload, a restart is required

GPU Backend

  • Displays the current GPU backend (Vulkan, OpenGL, Metal)
  • Shows a recommendation to use Vulkan if OpenGL is detected (Vulkan is faster)
  • Metal backend is supported on macOS

Shader Status

  • Shows whether shaders are compiled
  • Recompile Shaders button to force recompilation
  • First viewport use may take longer if shaders are not yet compiled
