After the new updates i can’t tell how am i supposed to select only one face of a model with an apple pencil. I used to simply press once with it and it was done, but now with a single tap the whole body is selected. Any help is much apreciated, thank you.

Hi @GugolMajo, this behavior did not change with the latest update. Probably you are holding the Pencil longer on the screen. Long tap selects the entire body, while a short tap selects an edge or a face.

Long tapping gives me the “half-circle” option, short tapping selects the whole body…

Shapr3D can’t edit STL (mesh) files. STL is not a CAD format.

You asked for editing STL-files and this is not possible in a solid-modeller. One may try to convert the STL into a Solid, but conversion always comes with a price: you loose accuracy in shape, because of the approximation. It is technically possible, but not easy to implement, what makes this feature pretty expensive. The team deciding to work on this feature, means sev…
