I would like to be able to use more complex guide lines in loft or sweep functions Will there be a chance in the future

I just downloaded the software and was excited to test drive it. The first thing I did was attempt to create a 3D sketch to layout my parametric skeleton. I was unable to find the 3D sketch button and am not able to move forward with this software. Very disappointed.

Hi Misha,

3D sketches are on our radar but we haven’t prioritized it yet.

The best you can do at present is define sketches of cross-sections in planes at different angles in 3D space and loft between them.

Also, if your 3D sketch is a combination of a set of planar curves, you can define fairly complex 3D sketches with the combination of construction planes.
