## What it is
A Blender add-on providing operators for editing edgeloops on curved meshes, most notably a Set Flow tool that smooths edge loops via spline interpolation. It integrates into Blender's Mesh Edge/Vertex menus and viewport context menus.

## Use cases
- smooth edgeloops on curved meshes in blender
- set edge flow like in other 3d applications
- fix bulging edge loops around corners
- blend edge loop smoothing with tension and iterations controls
- relax vertex loops to respect surrounding geometry flow
- hard surface modeling cleanup in blender

## When to choose
- you model curved or hard-surface meshes in Blender and need Maya-style edge flow tools
- you want spline-based edgeloop smoothing with fine control over tension, iterations, and blend ranges
- you use Blender 3.5 or newer and want a free GPL-licensed addon

## When to avoid
- you need general mesh editing beyond edgeloop operations
- you work in 3D software other than Blender
- you need guaranteed long-term maintenance, as the author notes limited availability
