How it works
The core of the add-on is Geometry Nodes, but it adds the conveniences the raw node tree doesn't give you — drawing in Object Mode by clicking on surfaces, and converting existing objects into cables.
Usage
- The GeoCables panel sits under the A-Tools section of the N-Panel.
- Click Create/Edit Cables to start drawing mode.
- Click any face to place a point, and keep clicking to add more.
- Hold Ctrl to snap a point to the centre of a face.
- Hold Alt while clicking to split the cable.
With a GeoCable object selected, click Add Shipped Connectors to add the five connectors that ship with the add-on.
Select any object and click Object to Cables to convert all of its edges into cables. For finer control, use the GeoCables modifier that is added to every GeoCable object.

Release notes
- Fixed the high polycount issue.
- Fixed the normals issue on some connectors.
- Fixed the add-on creating an unnecessary Geometry Nodes node tree (called 'Geometry Nodes') every time new cables were created.
- Fixed a bug where applying the Geometry Nodes modifier deleted the connectors.
- Fixed the crash when switching to the Cycles render engine.
