So, you want to easily kit bash your SDL files in Blender like this. Let me make it easy for you. We're going to make use of the patented Proxy Brewer magnet cube technique. Step one, import your kit bashing files into Blender. You can get files like these on proxybrewer.com. Step two, create a cube with shift and A and scale it down with S. Step three, select the cube. Press tab to go into edit mode and select the bottom face.
Step four, insert the bottom face with I and extrude with E. Then go back into object mode with tab. We've now made our magnet cube with an extrusion that serves as the orientation direction. Step five. At the top of your screen, set the transform orientation to normal. And under the snapping properties, select the following settings according to what is displayed on screen. Now, step six, select your object and move it with G.
Place its backside against the magnet cube so the extrusion faces outwards. Step seven, parent your kit bashing object to the magnet cube with control and P. Step eight, select the magnet cube. Press G to move and hold control while dragging the mouse over your model. And watch your kit bashing object magically project onto the model in the correct orientation. To more precisely place your object, also include holding the shift key while dragging.
Step nine, adjust your object or magnet cube once you're satisfied with the position by using the G into X, Y, and Z, R into X, Y, and Z, or S into X, Y, and Z combinations. Step 10. Once satisfied, select all objects and remove parenting with Alt and P. Clear and keep transformation. You can decide to keep the magnet cubes as intersection pieces or delete them at this point. Step 11. Select your objects. Apply visual geometry to mesh with Ctrl and A.
Join your objects with Ctrl and J. And export your model as SDL. Bonus step. Step 12. To merge your objects together and reduce file size, select your object, add a remsh modifier with a foxel size of 0.05 and add a decimate modifier with a ratio of 0.1. Apply visual geometry to mesh with control and a and export the model as SDL. I recommend running the object through a program like 3D Builder or Meshmixer to fix any non-manifold mesh issues.
