Run Essential Solid Operations Faster with NT Boolean
NT Boolean is a free SketchUp Boolean tools plugin created by Nice Tower for union, difference, intersection, trim and split operations. It brings common solid-modeling commands into one focused toolbar for faster architectural and product-modeling workflows.
Combine and subtract SketchUp solids with fewer steps
Switching between several manual workflows makes solid modeling slower and increases cleanup. NT Boolean groups the most useful operations in one place, allowing you to combine or subtract valid solids directly. This example shows how the plugin simplifies common construction and product-modeling tasks.
A practical NT Boolean tool for professional SketchUp modeling
Architectural components, furniture and product models often need solids to be combined, subtracted, intersected or divided. NT Boolean helps architects and 3D artists perform these operations from one consistent toolbar. It reduces menu switching and makes common solid-modeling tasks easier to learn and repeat across detailed projects.
Union
Combine intersecting solids into one continuous SketchUp object.
Difference
Subtract one solid from another to create openings and recesses.
Intersection
Keep the common volume shared by selected solid objects.
Trim
Use one solid to cut another while retaining required geometry.
Split
Divide intersecting objects into separate usable solid parts.
Free RBZ installer
Install through SketchUp Extension Manager at no cost.
How to use NT Boolean in SketchUp
Prepare clean, organized geometry before starting. A clear selection and suitable model structure produce more predictable results and reduce later cleanup.
Check the solids
Confirm each object is closed and reported as a solid.
Select objects
Choose target and cutter in the order required by the command.
Pick an operation
Run Union, Difference, Intersection, Trim or Split.
Validate the result
Inspect the new solid and repair unexpected internal geometry.
Handle intersections, trims and splits from one clear toolbar
Complex assemblies often require intersection, trimming or splitting rather than a simple union. NT Boolean provides focused commands for these operations so you can test different modeling strategies without leaving the toolbar. The second video shows how the tools make detailed solid edits easier to follow.
Practical ways to use NT Boolean
Openings and recesses
Subtract cutters from walls, panels and furniture components.
Combined assemblies
Join compatible solid parts into one manageable object.
Construction details
Intersect and trim structural components cleanly.
Product modeling
Split and reshape solid objects during iterative design.
