Hardsurface Doctor

Hardsurface Doctor is a complete post-boolean toolkit for hard-surface artists working non-destructively in Blender.
While tools like Hard Ops and Boxcutter excel at cutting, the real work often begins after the cut: broken topology, lost bevel weights, overlapping bevels, and chaotic boolean stacks. Hardsurface Doctor solves these problems in one unified sidebar panel.
Repair

Auto-scan for boolean damage: n-gons, non-manifold edges, interior faces, zero-area faces, doubled vertices, flipped normals, shading artifacts, leftover seams
One-click presets: Safe, Aggressive, Manual Review
Batch repair across multiple selected objects
Per-object Health Score (0–100) with CLEAN / NEEDS ATTENTION / BROKEN status

Bevel Manager

Persistent bevel weight tracking — store and reapply after topology changes
Bevel weight paint (set weight on selected edges)
Profile library (save / load / apply / import / export)
Conflict detection for overlapping bevels

Boolean Stack

Visual list of all boolean modifiers on the active object
Reorder operations (move up/down) with live stack update
Mute / unmute individual operations
Rename, tag, and group operations
Jump-to-cutter (select the cutter object)
Export / import stack presets for kit-bashing
