Is there any way to add points to the drawings? I believe it is due to the organic shape of my object, but most of the points I can select aren’t at places I need to measure. I want to add points along certain lines like so.
On the arcs/circles, I can only select the diameter for perfect circles? I have no option to do anything with most of the arcs on my object.
The drawing mode in shapr is so streamlined it’s a bit disappointing that it only seems to work on perfect shapes. Thinking I’ll have to take this into rhino.

Is there a way to get around this?

Hello,
If you’re struggling with arcs and organic curves, you could create an auxiliary sketch by projecting key points or lines onto a flat plane. These projections can give you more control over specific parts of the curves that you want to measure or interact with. You could create a series of lines or curves that intersect with your organic shape in specific places. This could be a helpful way to generate new measurement points along the path of the curve. Once you have these intersection points, you can measure distances, angles, and other properties more easily. If Shapr3D is still limiting you, exporting your model to Rhino is definitely a great choice. Rhino has more powerful tools for working with organic shapes, adding points along curves, and measuring along more complex paths. You could use Rhino’s curve analysis and point tools to get the measurements you need before bringing the file back into Shapr3D for any further modeling.
