Hang
A catenary between two or more anchors, with slack. Drag an anchor and the cable follows, live. Run one cable through every anchor, or pair them up A to B.
Blender add-on
Cables that hang like cables.
Click ready-made cable runs onto any wall, or hang, fan, drop and draw your own, with real slack, real hardware and one click to a game-ready mesh.
For Blender 4.5 LTS and newer.
- Blender 4.5+
- Click-to-place setups
- 29 cable profiles
- Bakes to mesh with UVs
Before / After
Bare walls to a lived-in room
Every cable in this room came from Conduit: trios clamped along the walls, wires sagging between the lights, and a bundle dropping from the ceiling to sprawl across the floor.
Setups
Click a cable run onto the wall
Pick a setup and click a surface. The run lands square to that wall, ready to go: a single cable, a trio with clamps, a pipe, a power line, a mixed bundle or a full harness. Drag one handle to move the whole run, change the cable count, and the cables stay evenly spaced on the wall.
Need it to go somewhere? Extend it left, right, up or down, or click the next point, even on the next wall. Every turn gets a proper elbow, and a bundle stays parallel through it: the inside cable bends tighter, the outside one wider, none of them cross.
- Six setups: Single, Trio and Pipe for wall runs; Power, Bundle and Harness for spans.
- Extend from either end, with elbows sized to the cable.
- Built-in saddle clamps at every anchor and joint.
- Convert any setup to a regular Hang layer when you want every control.
- Show, hide or solo any setup from its row, and pick one in the viewport to find it in the list.
Four modes
Hang, Fan, Drop, Draw
Fan
One hub to many targets. Click a face and targets scatter across it, or click each target where you want it. Change the count and cables are added or removed live; the ones you already have stay put.
Drop
Cable coming down from a ceiling point and piling on the floor. The cables appear as soon as you place the landings; drag any landing to steer its cable.
Draw
Drag across any surface and the cable follows it. Where it meets another cable it climbs over and settles back down, instead of running through.
Workflow
More in 1.1
Copy between files
Copy a setup into another file and it stays live, ready to edit.
Swap the look
Swap the look of a whole run, or of one cable in it.
Find any run
Hide any setup with its eye, Ctrl+click to solo it, and see what you picked light up.
Turn as you place
Turn a run as you place it: it lands square to the wall.
Profiles
29 presets
Power cable to fire hose, coiled cord to flex duct, and seven kinds of wire harness, from a tidy network rack to a rat's nest. Rope lay, ribs and armour hold their pitch at any length. Every preset is a starting point: change anything, save it, and load it in any file.
Cables
Everyday cable, from background wire to armoured runs.
Power CablePlain round cable, medium roundness 
Thin WireCheap low-poly round wire for background runs 
Flat IDCRibbon cable: a row of conductors sitting side by side 
Flat StrapWide flat band with rounded edges 
NewCoiled CordA phone cord: one wire wound in a tight helix 
NewExtension CordOrange, a little flat 
NewArmored (BX)Interlocked steel armour spiralling down the cable 
Damaged LoomBundle of wires with one worn through and the conductor showing
Ropes & Hoses
Laid, braided and ribbed; the pitch holds at any length.
RopeThree twisted strands with a little thickness noise 
Braided CableSix tightly wound strands 
NewWire RopeSteel wire rope: six strands laid round a core 
HoseSmooth round rubber hose 
CorrugatedCorrugated hose: round, with tight ribbing along its length 
NewHydraulic HoseThick hose in a braided steel jacket 
NewFire HoseFlattened red hose with a woven jacket 
NewFlex DuctBig silver ducting with deep ribs 
Tapered VineThick at the start, thinning to a tip
Rigid
Pipe, tray and structural sections for runs that don't sag.
Rigid PipeHollow tube with a visible wall 
Cable TrunkingOpen U-channel tray 
I-BeamStructural I-section for truss runs 
Twisted BarFlattened hex twisted along its length 
NewSci-fi ConduitOne smooth tube with rigid round collars
Harness
Many cables in one run, each type tied its own way.
NewWire HarnessTwelve mixed cables zip-tied together, a few hanging loose 
NewNetwork RackTwo dozen Cat6 in a tidy velcro-strapped bundle 
NewAerospaceTight white wires with heat-shrink ID bands 
NewPower TrunkThick power cables, heavy zip ties, a little drop between them 
NewMech UmbilicalHoses, braided lines and thin wires held by steel collars 
NewRat's NestEvery colour, loose wires, tape where it landed, a wire worn through 
NewStage SnakeA thick multicore with loose leads, gaffer-taped
Hardware
Ends, fittings and clamps
Strip the jacket back to coloured cores and bare copper, fray it, or heat-shrink it. Add a gland, plug, lug, ferrule or grommet at either end, or any object of your own; the cable runs straight into it before it bends, the way a real one does. A built-in saddle clamp holds runs to the wall, at the anchors or spaced along the cable, sized to fit.
Obstacles
Drop to Floor
Let one end of a hanging cable come loose and sprawl, or let the slack settle on the floor. Avoid Obstacles keeps it out of walls, props and pipes.
Bake
Finalize
Bake any layer to one mesh with world-length UVs, so every cable in the scene has the same texel density. The curves stay hidden, not deleted, so you can change anything and bake again.

Questions
FAQ
Does it work with Blender 5?
Yes. Every release is tested on 4.5 LTS and the newest Blender.
Can a cable run turn corners?
Yes. Extend a setup in any direction or click the next point, including on another wall. Each turn gets an elbow, and bundled cables stay parallel through it.
Do setups limit what I can change?
Setups keep the controls you need for a quick run. Convert one to a Hang layer at any time and every Hang control is back, with the cable exactly where it was.
Is the output game-ready?
Finalize bakes to a mesh with UVs and shows the triangle count. Resolution is set separately from the viewport.
Can I edit the cables by hand?
Yes. Freeze a drawn cable to protect hand edits, or convert one to a mesh and it's yours.
Can I move setups between files?
Yes. Copy and paste, append, or drag one from the Asset Browser, and Conduit picks it up as a live setup, ready to edit, with all its settings.
Will it slow my scene down?
Live preview waits before rebuilding, and the delay is adjustable in Preferences for heavy scenes.
Where do I report bugs?
On GitHub issues. Include your Blender version, the Conduit version and a small .blend if you can.
