Blender Just Got AutoCAD-Style Editing Tools — And They're Free (Bonsai BIM)

Blender now has CAD-like editing tools thanks to Bonsai BIM — and they're completely free. In this tutorial, I show you how to create a slab model using Bonsai BIM and edit its profile using professional CAD operations: Offset, Fillet, Extend, Join, and more. If you've been missing these tools since leaving AutoCAD or Revit, this changes everything. For architects, the lack of traditional CAD editing tools has always been Blender's biggest weakness. You can model anything, but operations like offsetting a profile, filleting corners, or extending edges to meet — things that take one click in AutoCAD — required manual workarounds in Blender. Bonsai BIM adds these operations directly into Blender with a professional, architect-friendly workflow. This tutorial focuses on slab modeling, but the CAD tools work across any Bonsai BIM profile editing workflow — walls, foundations, custom profiles, and more. 🎥 Go beyond the basics with Workshops: 1️⃣ Blender for architects: From Zero to Scaled CAD-Style PDF → → https://bit.ly/blender2ddrafting 2️⃣ Blender: Precise 3D Modeling → https://bit.ly/bprecisemodeling 3️⃣ Blender for beginners → https://bit.ly/Blender43BeginnersU Pro channel members get workshops or books for free (one coupon code a month) - Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @blender3darchitect   ➡️ Learning resources (Download PDF samples - Options for Google Play or Apple Books): 📕 → Blender: Precise 3D Modeling (English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian) - https://bit.ly/blender5precise 📕 → Blender: The Beginners Guide (English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian) - https://bit.ly/blender5beg Get the books from as Paperback or Digital (Blender: Precise 3D Modeling): 🇺🇸 📕 English - https://geni.us/learnblender5x 🇫🇷 📕 French - https://geni.us/ApprenezBlender5 🇪🇸 📕 Spanish - https://geni.us/AprendeBlender5 🇩🇪 📕 German - https://geni.us/Blender5lernen 🇮🇹 📕 Italian - https://geni.us/ImparareBlender5 Get the books from as Paperback or Digital (Blender: The Beginners Guide): 🇺🇸 📕 English - https://geni.us/learnblender5x 🇫🇷 📕 French - https://geni.us/ApprenezBlender5 🇪🇸 📕 Spanish - https://geni.us/AprendeBlender5 🇩🇪 📕 German - https://geni.us/Blender5lernen 🇮🇹 📕 Italian - https://geni.us/ImparareBlender5 🇧🇷 📕 Portuguese - https://geni.us/B5xstepsB
