Check out GBH Tool Manual for more details.

IMPORTANT:

Presets might not work on Blender 4.0 and later due to changes in Blender mesh data structure as the presets are saved as mesh data in .blend files.

Until the stable release of Blender 4.0 the compatibility of the presets is not guaranteed. So don't rely highly on presets for now.
