hi guys,
I am using shapr3d since it launched and followed the development over the years. now, after quite a long time I still keep myself far, far away from paying for shapr3d because of its heavy lags.
let me explain.
the tool is GREAT, you can (by now) model quite a lot with a very nice sortiment of actions.
but - why is there no rectangle tool? why no polygon? why won’t a line snap to points on a surface? why am I not able to create faces from closed curves?
I love the following example - the octahedron.
try it. it’s as simple as it’s complicated. 3 squares copyrotated, that is easy. and how to make it solid?
how to draw a line onto a 3d-inclined surface edge? (without resulting in a curve, or without getting lost in empty space because obejct snaps won’t work?
maybe I’m doing a huge mistake and it is easily to solve, but then I’m very interested in your answers.
thanks a lot, and thanks at the dev team for that great, great app! keep going
merry christmas!
If you just want those 3 squares then you could give them their appropriate thickness and then they will become solids as in reality every single object has a thickness and not a 2D!
similar, if it was a platonic volume like the octahedron. an octahedron has 12 equal edges and 8 equal surfaces. the angle has to be exactly (180° - ) 109° 28′ 16″ in order to get one line equal as the other.
and this is just an example for the critics I wrote in the text (drawing /snapping on srf).
let’s close this here. maybe it’s too difficult to explain or it’s just christmas today. sorry guys
as mentioned in the first post the octahedron is an example for the simple critics I gave to the program.
and please don’t tell me shapr is only for sketch use. there’s way more potential if adding some small features.
(it’s more mathematical, not visual)
