Any feature ideas?

Here’s a quick list of everything I wish for in shapr3D:

  • toggle visible dimensions
  • text
  • note taking
  • better 2d drawing and shape tools (like vector app) better way to draw triangles
  • nudge tool (set to grid?)
  • Move tool not centered in object when zoomed in ( maybe option to decouple controls from the object itself)
  • physics / collisions / simulation
  • record/animate (records screen with options to hide interface and cursor)
  • ability to use simple textures in place of colors (like wood grain, glass, concrete, etc)
  • more advanced color picking tool in general
  • better selection tool (loop selection like uMake?)
  • shortcut tool for chamfering and rounding edges (selecting individual edges is a pain)
  • toggle transparent view
  • toggle exploded view
  • all tutorials and seminars available in tips window (as in the intro tuts)
  • file/project metadata
  • blueprint, 2d drawing, engineering drawing generation.
  • use subtract tool without duplicating object or removing. (Is this a bug?)
  • modifier buttons or gestures (good for toggling between selection types, move or extrude, etc)
  • more in depth and advanced preferences for app behavior and interface
  • simple tools for generating common shapes/forms like threads
  • asset library for imported models (would be great for including hardware in designs from McMaster)
  • tolerance adjustment tool (like in auto cad)
  • workflow specific modes with easy object generation (e.g. architectural mode where you can create stud walls and move and resize them easily)
  • 3rd party plugins (could be a way to solve many of the above issues, especially for custom workflows)
