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)
- Components & External file references (auto updated)
- More materials, options and HDR lighting in Visualization
- Rendering (high quality image output)
- Animation (explode, camera etc.)
- Analysis (various strengths, additive layers, CAM etc)
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.
