This page lists add-ons to Blender which are most relevant to AEC work.

Some Add-ons without their own pages:

• Construction Lines is a tool for accurate CAD style modelling in Blender. Build snapping guide points and guide edges, draw lines and primitive shapes in place, automatically create faces in closed geometry, rotate and precisely move object geometry around a scene and cut shapes into existing geometry. The tool is designed for CAD style drawings but works just as well with any other type of modelling.
• TechSec permits static and interactive SVG formatted technical sections to be created and visualised based on Blender mesh geometry.

There is a growing number of add-ons for generating cityscapes. Great for architectural visualization:

• Blender-OSM The addon imports buildings from OpenStreetMap. Building height and number of floors are used to create the final scene. Composition into 3D parts for a building with the complex structure is also processed. A large number of roof shapes is supported. If a terrain is provided, buildings are placed on the terrain automatically.
• Hira building Generator This is a generator that allows you to create easy, fun, yet complex architectural structures made with blender geometry nodes.
• Buildify is a geometry nodes library for easy building creation.

As of 2020 Blender has introduced a Long Time Support version (LTS). This can be useful to remember when using addons, they may not always have been updated to the latest Blender release.
