Found the thread that’s 2 years old… is it still on the roadmap to create a simple folder ability in the design tab?

Any update? We need some folders for designs

Yes, it’s certainly something that we’d like to implement at some point of time.

I’m new but was looking for folders without success. I tried exporting a design in UI by native 3d format to my iPad files folder and then organizing them there. I didn’t find a choice for Shapr3D so I used pages. I can see the file so I will try to import it

For different designs, I use the Files folders on iPad. This works well and allows access across all platforms.

Within a design, I create folders within the itemization view. (Uncertain of the official name)

I find both these methods commercially viable and satisfactory for my business.

Can I ask how the interface sees your designs that are in separate folders on your iPad?

Really wish a simple folder structure was implemented, seems like a pretty basic implementation to me.

David, Here are a couple screen captures of the iPad Folder file system. I can view iCloud across my iPads and PC systems. I can sort them by Name, Date, Kind, etc.  
You can also create folders within folders.
