kalle is on a distinguished road
For some time I have been working on writing two python plug-in scripts for Blender 3D. The two tools assists the user in creating the blockMeshDict and snappyHexMeshDict with associated files. The tools have no interdependencies, but the users may use SwiftBlock to create more advanced base meshes for snappyHexMesh than just a single block.

I have the hope that the tools are easy to use, but please read the short user guides before starting. If anyone encounters problems, please bring them up here on the forum.

The two tools are tested in Blender 2.6x (They may also work for 2.5x, but not older, as Blender has gone through major revisions) using Ubuntu Oneiric 64-bit and Windows XP. Precompiled (recommended) versions are available at http://www.blender.org

I encourage people to suggests improvements and make own versions. Based on Python 3.2, the scripts are very easy to understand and customise.
