With the projects that I work on… I seem to get a long processing wait time and I was wondering if it would be safe to exit the app to go use another app while Shapr3D is thinking, so I can do other stuff and Shapr3D will be done when I come back?

Hey - spoke with the devs as I wasn’t sure either. If you put the app in the back it won’t process, but if you choose the multitask feature (see pic: using Procreate next to Shapr), and bring another app next to Shapr, then it will.

Hmmm… Interesting. Either ProCreate or a Shapr3D tutorial on YouTube. This is what I did when doing the beginner lessons. Thanks for the info. 🙂
