My first impressions of the Beta are that it works, but why? what next? I don’t mean to be negative and I appreciate the Beta status but there is just something missing here to make me want to use it. For context, I use SketchUp at least once or twice a week for my design work (fitted furniture ma…

Hi @MichaelA , great feedback, thank you. We would love to hear more ideas how we could make the mac app better. [image] MichaelA: Imagine with me for a second, you are sat in your favourite spot working on a design on your iPad using your Apple Pencil. You decide that you want to go and take a …

[image] MichaelA: I had an instant image and expectation in my head when I read the announcement but unfortunately what I found was not what I had hoped to see. Eg. understanding what that image was, would be super helpful :slight_smile:

Hi, thanks for taking the time to read my rambles. Sidecar works as a second screen with some touch controls but it itself feels like a beta and isn’t practical for this kind of use case. To get full control over the model you need to drag the app window on to the iPad (2nd screen) and then you can…

How about this? (El trackpad) [image] Use iPad as trackpad Need help? We are here. We support keyboard and mouse in the iPad version. Just connect a mouse/trackpad and a keyboard, and it will work like the mac version slight_smile

Eg. understanding what that image was, would be super helpful :slight_smile: [/quote] The image in my head is very much in line with the overall look and feel of the existing beta but with the seamless interaction and integration of the iPad app. I would imagine on starting the app you have three…

[image] MichaelA: On connection to the iPad app you would see a secondary menu, open existing design or create new design. For this I believe the automatic sync between iPad and mac will be a solution, wdyt? [image] MichaelA: but with the seamless interaction and integration of the iPad …

[image] If the image uploads correctly note how the modelling is done on the computer and that’s where the focus is but the interaction is done through the tablet (maintaining the natural ease of use) with the addition of some simple to use keyboard shortcuts. I’d assume there would be significan…

“For this I believe the automatic sync between iPad and mac will be a solution, wdyt?” I think auto sync will be an essential feature and step in the right direction but as it stands if I decide to fully commit to Shapr3D for all of my design work I will be modelling on the iPad and (assuming there…

[image] MichaelA: Sorry, but I’m having a hard time understanding what you think will be gained by pencil/stylus support on the Mac. Until (and if) we get touchscreen Macs, there will always be a difference in how we interact with the screen. I absolutely agree that using a pencil on the iPad …

Noting the image you posted, does the iPad work like a Wacom tablet does with a Mac or PC? If so that’s interesting. But useless to me, as I can’t draw on a different surface than I am viewing on. Not for lack of trying. I had a Wacom. Ditched it soon. I did a lot of Digital editing and it just didn…
