+Blender CAD utils
+=================
+
+A tiny subset of unmissable CAD functions for Blender 3d.
+Addon [page on blender.org/wiki](http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Modeling/mesh_tinyCAD) (Which has most of the same info]
+
+### Installation
+
+Download the [`installable stable release zip` here](https://github.com/zeffii/mesh_tinyCAD/archive/v1_2_4.zip)
+
+
+__________________
+
+
+### OK, what's this all about?
+
+Dedicated CAD software speeds up drafting significantly with functions like: `Extend`, `Trim`, `Intersect`, `Fillet /w radius` and `Offset /w distance`. At the moment of this writing many of these functions aren't included by default in regular distributions on Blender.org, so i've coded scripts to perform a few of the main features that I missed most.
+
+My scripts have shortnames: `VTX, V2X, XALL, BIX, CCEN` and are described separately in sections below. `Fillet` and `Offset` are written by zmj100 and can be found [here](http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?179375).
+
+
+Since I started this repository: Vertex Fillet / Bevel was added to master. So no more need for a separate addon. (Ctrl+Shift+b)
+
+### VTX
+
+The VTX script has lived in contrib distributions of Blender since 2010, with relatively minor changes. The feedback from BlenderArtists has been [overwhelmingly positive](http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?204836-CAD-Addon-Edge-Tools-(blender-2-6x)). I'm not going to claim it's bug free, but finding any showstopping issues has proven difficult. It now performs V, T or X selection automatically.
+
+Expect full freedom of orientation, but stuff must really intersect within error margins (`1.5E-6` = tolerance). These kinds of functions are handy for drawing construction lines and fixing up geometry.
+
+ - V : extending two edges towards their _calculated_ intersection point.
+ 
+
+ - T : extending the path of one edge towards another edge.
+ 
+
+ - X : two edges intersect, their intersection gets a weld vertex. You now have 4 edges and 5 vertices.
+ 
+
+
+- Select two edges
+- hit `Spacebar` and type `vtx` ..select `autoVTX`
+- Bam. the rest is taken care of.
+
+
+### X ALL
+
+Intersect all, it programatically goes through all selected edges and slices them all using any found intersections, then welds them.
+
+ - XALL is fast!
+ 
+ - Select as many edges as you want to intersect.
+ - hit `spacebar` and type `xa` ..select `XALL intersect all edges`
+
+### V2X (Vertex to Intersection)
+
+This might be a niche accessory, but sometimes all you want is a vertex positioned on the intersection of two edges. Nothing fancy.
+
+### BIX (generate Bisector)
+
+Creates a single edge which is the bisect of two edges.
+
+
+### CCEN (Circle Centers)
+
+Given either
+
+- two adjacent edges on the circumference of an incomplete circle
+- or three vertices (not required to be adjacent)
+
+this operator will places the 3d cursor at original center of that circle.
+
+
+
+updated version may become a modal operator to generate a full set of circle vertices, with variable vertex count.
+
+
+
+### E2F (Extend Edge to Selected Face, Edge 2 Face)
+
+Select a single Edge and a single Polygon (ngon, tri, quad) within the same Object. Execute `W > TinyCAD > E2F`
+
+
+
+
+### Why on github?
+
+The issue tracker, use it.
+
+- Let me know if these things are broken in new releases. Why? I don't update Blender as often as some so am oblivious to the slow evolution.
+- If you can make a valid argument for extra functionality and it seems like something I might use or be able to implement for fun, it's going to happen.
+- I'm always open to pull requests (just don't expect instant approval of something massive, we can talk..you can use your gift of persuasion and sharp objectivism)
