Hi shapr3D community, I want to add a new sketch layer on a 3D surface. On this surface is already a sketch layer. So it always jumps to the original sketch layer.
I want to create a new one, but I don‘t know how.
I tried to create a construction layer and create a sketch on it, but it always jumps back to the original sketch layer.
What do I do wrong?
Thank you!
Use the move tool to move the 1st sketch out of the way temporarily?
Hi all, attached you find a simplified example describing my problem. I created a sketch plane 01 at the y-z-plane containing a rectangle 10 x 10 mm.
With this I did an extrusion by 5 mm resulting in body 01.
I now want to add an additional sketch plane resulting in a new body at the y-z-plane without interfering to sketch plane 01 and body 01.
When I click on the surface of body 01 in the y-z-plane and create sketch, it jumps to sketch plane 01.
I also included a construction plane 01. When I click on it and select sketch, it also jumps to sketch plane 01.
Why does this happen?
And how can I solve this?
Thank you!
Try to hide sketch before selecting face. I don’t see such behaviour on last parametric version.
Hi, I tried this. Everytime I draw something new, the hidden sketch is made visible. There is also a notification about it.
I don’t know what I do wrong. Is there anything incorrect in the settings?
Thank you.
I think that’s standard behaviour in old version (not sure because haven’t seen it in real life). Parametric version is almost released so you can wait a little or try to install beta version right now.
Okay, I installed the beta version and as you said, it works.
So next question, how can I transfer my project from the standard shapr3D version to the beta version?
I am connected on both versions with my ID, but the projects are not synchronized.
Thank you.
Just save it as .shapr file in old version and open in new one.
I am using the free version. So this is unfortunately not available. So I need to wait for the official release…
Start free 7 day trial. You will have full access to all functions. You can cancel it before this 7 days end and not paying anything.
But who knows maybe you will like pro version enough to pay for it 
Thanks for the hint.
For my understanding, why is this not working with the old app, having two sketches on one surface?
I’m not a developer of that app so I don’t know why they made it this way.
