🎯 Key Features

Instant Mesh-to-Planks Conversion

Supports Split and Continuous Modes
Choose between separated plank rows or unified plank runs depending on the surface you're generating.

Normal Alignment + Axis Switching
Auto-align planks to complex surfaces like barrels or ship hulls using axis toggles and normal matching options.
