I thought it would be interesting for the community AND Shapr team with a poll of the most requested features. You only get ONE VOTE. If I’ve missed your favorite request, please mention it briefly below.
Thread tool (standards such as ISO, metric etc)
Joints (fixed, linear, rotational etc. with limits)
It seems I cannot change the poll after 5 minutes, but I will add a few pickups below and update their votes (just write “VOTE: [description]” as a reply).
Plugin system (scripts w/wo UI) and Marketplace (0 votes)
Sheet metal tools (flange + unfold) (0 votes)
NOTE: There are of course hundreds of requests for small fixes / additions, I was trying to keep the list to “major features” only. I’m not sure that “Thread tool” scores as a major feature (or components for that matter), but it is a burning topic. You could just as well view them as “Modeling toolset” and “Workflow improvements” I guess.
This is quite surprising, I thought Thread / modeling toolset would have taken the lead, given the number of posts in that thread. Joints I can understand, but animation? Wow, that’s unexpected. Exciting! Keep voting!
I just read a Hungarian newspaper in which Shapr3d mentioned they were working on joints and constraints for 3d bodies. Although, I really wonder why they don’t tell us this. Still, there’s hope.
