Overdrive

By telleropnul, April 20, 2020

Overdrive is a Blender 2.8x add-on offering the following performance enhancements:

  • Automatically show / hide the last bevel modifier on the modifier stack for all objects in the scene based on mouse inactivity.

Overdrive is non-intrusive and automatically pauses whenever you:

  • Enter [Edit Mode]
  • Use [MMB] to rotate 3D viewport.
  • Switch to a Viewport Shading mode other than [Solid]

If you want bevel enabled in any of the above, simply wait for 1 second for last bevel to become active and then perform these tasks. Now your bevel is visible for the entire duration of that task.

How to use

When in 3D viewport, press [F3]. Search for “Overdrive” and select to run. Press [RMB] or [ESC] to exit Overdrive.

  • Replace [RMB] / [ESC] with an easy to use on / off toggle button in 3D view header panel.
  • Don’t overdrive Cutters’ vertex bevels.
