:boom: Today, we are announcing that :drum: History-Based Parametric Modeling :drum: is coming to Shapr3D. :boom: At Shapr3D, we’ve always held grand ambitions. Our goal is still to build the best CAD system in the world. But the path to achieving this has not been straightforward. In the early yea…

[image] Oregonerd: I have a question. So what will make Shapr stand out against all the other History based parametric modelers? I hate most of them, the reason I found Shapr and almost bought an iPad because of it? What would make it stand out is what (hopefully) already makes you like Shapr…

@Peter_Gy thank you for your detailed, thoughtful response! I appreciate it….and I am excited!

I am able to flesh things out so much faster and easier than ANY modeling system I have ever used. And I have tried several over many years. You might consider forking Shapr off into two products if you must change the fundamental way Shapr works now. Why must modeling be for engineers only. (Or eng…

Alright, I’ll wait and see. You guys have done great things so far. Now what about the cost? I am on a fixed income. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Still, my biggest fear is Autodesk is going to buy Shapr.

The old workflow will remain the same: until you open the History sidebar, you won’t even notice that we now have this functionality. We might change some defaults (eg. to keep the sketch-body connections or whether offset face or extrude is the default tool when a face is selected), but based on ou…

The same thing we try to do every night, Pinky….

With great power comes great responsibility? :shushing_face:

Normally I don’t do reviews but I will express some things. There is a lot of competition in design programs, but I chose shapr3D because I was impressed by its ease to build or design without having to switch from one option to another, or open another menu with thousands of tools as it happens in…

This is amazing news! One question lots of us are probably wondering is, will you implement calculations within user variables as you implement the parametric side of the program? Coming from Fusion360 a year ago that was a bit of a change to not have parametric variables available, but since you ar…
