Gridfinity Tile Generator (Blender Addon)

Blender 4.3+

This is my first Blender add-on project — a tool that generates Gridfinity-compatible base tiles inside Blender with adjustable rows, columns, and optional magnet holes. More to come but, I figured I would put the bones out there and see if anyone wanted to make some improvments.

This project was inspired by the brilliant Gridfinity system created by Zack Freedman.
