Taking Shapr3D for a spin and I truly love the iPad experience. I come from a more traditional polygonal modeling paradigm, mostly C4D.

Anyway, looking to model a simple “coat hook”. Wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how I should approach this with a Shapr mindset?

I was looking at Loft, but didn’t think about Mirror to handle the “split” hooks at the bottom.

Great idea.

I used the **Loft** tool. This is tricky as the shape is quite organic.  
I’ll show you how I did it a little later. Gotta step out for a bit.

Let me know if any questions.  
For the bottom hook, I first rotated it 45° to the left then copy-rotated to the right 90°.

This is another way, what is your impression?

Interesting. I’m new to the Shapr3d toolset. Are you using Booleans for your approach?

If you are asking me, the basic tools I used after sketches were-  
Loft, Loft, move-rotate 45°, copy-rotate 90°, extrude, **Union** , fillet radii, **Subtract** , chamfer.  
I used **Union** to combine all 3 bodies and **Subtract** to make the screw holes.
